Residency Applicants
Welcome Potential Residents
Welcome! We're happy that you are interested in our residency program! This site will serve as a brief overview of our program. McMaster's Family Medicine residency program is organized into six different sites Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo (KW), Brampton, Niagara, Halton and Rural.
The site that you choose will serve as your "home base" for your two-year program. While each site has distinctive features, all McMaster residents experience a common curriculum. Each site represents a CaRMS option with the rural stream listing each available site separately so that applicants know where they will be based geographically.
Residents can tailor their learning experience to their professional interests through Block Electives, the Enhanced Skills Program, the Research Stream or by choosing from different practice settings: rural, urban community-based or urban teaching unit.
In whatever setting you choose, you will work alongside some of McMaster’s award winning faculty learning in an interprofessional model of care. Early exposure to other health disciplines through practice experience and core rotations broaden our residents’ clinical knowledge base and improve the quality of care for patients.
Best of luck with your future medical career regardless of the profession or program you ultimately choose. Thank you again for taking the time to learn more about our program and the exciting opportunities we have to offer.
