Courses and Conferences
The Division of Orthopaedic Surgery provides subsidized funding for the residents in the program to help support the various courses and conferences that they attend throughout their years of residency.
Attendance at any conference that will entail absence from clinical assignments must be arranged well in advance with the clinical teaching unit supervisors and co-residents on the service to ensure appropriate coverage during their educational leave.
Any residents who have submitted an abstract to the Canadian Orthopaedic Residents' Association Meeting may be eligible to attend this meeting with appropriate approval, provided it falls within allocated away time.
The maximum total time away from work to attend conferences must not exceed seven working days per year, including travel to and from meetings. Any additional time will be taken as vacation time. All away time requests will be coordinated by the Chief of Service.
