Post Graduate Year 2 - 5

The program provides the four core years of integrated training in ophthalmology required by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The program is structured to provide graded responsibility and appropriate levels of supervision. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of diagnostic skills in the early phase of the program and on development of surgical abilities in the later part of the program. Emphasis is placed on vertical (subspecialty) rotations in Post Graduate Year 3 to 5.

Electives are available in Post Graduate Year 5 to allow trainees to gain additional expertise. The trainee and the elective supervisor jointly prepare objectives and a plan for the proposed elective which is submitted to the Program Committee for approval before implementation. Both research and clinical elective proposals will be considered.
