Overview
About the Program:
The Sport and Exercise Medicine Enhanced Skills program prepares the graduating resident to increase access to high-quality care in Sport and Exercise Medicine, not only within the context of a specialized clinic but also within a Family Medicine practice.
The graduating resident will be capable of working independently and skillfully within a clinic specialized in musculoskeletal care. They will also develop the capacity to be a strong resource for their own primary care Family Medicine patients with musculoskeletal conditions and/or to become a referral resource for their colleagues in Family Medicine.
Highlights of the program include its primarily longitudinal structure, flexibility within the curriculum to best meet the resident鈥檚 needs, and the multiple opportunities for on-field game/event coverage.
The resident will work closely with various varsity sports teams based at 涩里番.
Program Highlights
- Duration: 12 months

Through the 涩里番 Sport Medicine Clinic, the trainee will have a longitudinal learning experience in Sport and Exercise Medicine. Clinic patients include varsity athletes, 涩里番 staff and students, members of the community who are active. Clinics at the Montreal General Hospital offer a longitudinal experience in non-operative Orthopedics. The musculoskeletal conditions seen in these clinics are not necessarily sport-related. Often, these are referrals from the Emergency Department or from community physicians. There will be exposure to CNESST and SAAQ cases. |

Residents who trained outside of 涩里番 will be paired with a SEM physician who also does Family Medicine, and will attend clinics within their Family Medicine practice. There is an option during the second half of the year to consider alternative options (e.g., ED shifts) |

Core Rounds and Teaching Sessions:
Every 2 weeks, there are online rounds, organized through CASEM, involving all of the Sport and Exercise Medicine Enhanced Skills residents across Canada. The majority of the presentations are resident-led. Over the year, the resident will be expected to present on 1-2 assigned topics (20-30 minutes each). At the end of the year, the presentations are based on interesting cases (usually 1 presentation of 5 minutes鈥� duration). There are also staff-led presentations (e.g., autonomic dysreflexia, mental health, research).
There are opportunities for the resident to be involved in teaching medical students and residents.
Evaluations:
For the months based primarily at the 涩里番 Sport Medicine Clinic, the resident is required to have 2 field notes completed per week. An ITER is completed every 1-2 months.
External rotations are evaluated using each rotation鈥檚 unique process (e.g., evaluations for each ED shift during MSK-ER rotation). An ITER on One45 will be completed at the end of each of these rotations.
Application Process
Application is via CaRMS. Please refer to regarding pertinent dates and deadlines. Important documents include a personal statement, one reference letter from program/site director, 3 reference letters from referees chosen by the resident.
