All applicant files submitted before the deadline will be reviewed by our selection committee. Our selection committee is composed of a diverse mix of pediatric faculty with experience in the CaRMs file review. File review is done using a standardized file review tool such that each file is assessed in a consistent manner.

Applicant files are evaluated on a number of merits, including, but not limited to: academic potential, interest in scholarly activities, leadership in extracurricular activities, strength of reference letters, interest in our center's pediatric training program, and the candidate's personal statement. Our program values a broad range of electives, especially those with a focus in pediatrics.  For electives in pediatrics, the program may contact any elective supervisor listed on your CaRMS application for further information. After review of documents, selected applicants, based upon the score of their comprehensive file review, will be offered an interview. Not all applicants meeting the minimal requirements will be offered an interview.

The final ranking process is determined primarily by a combination of the file review and the interview assessments. 

The file review and interview processes are conducted in an equitable manner with the goal to identify the candidates that best demonstrate the core values of our program. 

Selection Criteria

Our program values an applicant with a diverse range of clinical, scholarly, leadership, and life experiences.

As a mid-sized program, our trainees have the opportunity to become deeply involved with clinical care from an early stage of their training - therefore, applicants who are enthusiastic, eager to learn, and self-directed will thrive in our program.

We seek applicants who have demonstrated a strong academic standing and have shown a clear interest in child and adolescent health. 

Demonstrating performance in scholarly work and the assumption of leadership roles in your medical school career are strengths further sought.

Residency life can be demanding; therefore, we seek applicants who show a well-rounded approach to life with an interest in personal extracurricular pursuits. 

Further, we seek applicants with an awareness of and respect for cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion. With a large Indigenous population in Saskatchewan, strong candidates demonstrate an appreciation of and a respect for the unique health care needs of Indigenous peoples. 

Program goals

The primary goal is to train emerging general pediatricians with excellent clinical skills and a comprehensive knowledge in general pediatrics, who will utilize their training judiciously and ethically in caring for pediatric patients. For those who may seek further specialization, our program will help to foster your goal of attaining a pediatric fellowship position of your interest. 

At the end of training, residents will have successfully met the requirements as outlined in the Royal College objectives and will have gained competency to practice as a General Pediatric consultant. Furthermore, through coaching and modeling, residents will have a strong awareness of professionalism, equity and cultural diversity.

Program Highlights

QUICK FACTS

- Our program is a distributed one, with all residents receiving some portions of their training in other sites. Residents based in Regina will expect to spend some time in each year of the program in Saskatoon, notably for training in PICU and core subspecialty rotations. Access to varied outpatient settings is a valued component of our program. With 2 residents per year of training (8 in total), and no local RCPSC fellowship programs, residents in our program have ample direct contact with pediatric faculty and clinical exposures. In addition, there are 6 residents per year (24 total residents) based in Saskatoon, for a total of 32 residents overall in the program. 

- Our current Regina faculty includes approximately 25 general pediatricians, neonatologists, and pediatric subspecialists. Regina-based subspecialists include a Pediatric Developmental Pediatrician, Pediatric Allergist/Immunologist, Pediatric Respirologist, Pediatric Endocrinologist, and a Pediatric Surgeon, as well as comprehensive pediatric care programs including a Pediatric Oncology Outreach Program, the Wascana Rehabilitation Center (pediatric rehabilitation services), and a Child Maltreatment Team affiliated with the Pediatric Child Maltreatment Specialist in Saskatoon. Furthermore, there is a Pediatric Emergency Department in Regina currently comprised of two dedicated Pediatric Emergency Medicine physicians. 

- Our Pediatric Outpatient facility provides consultative care with specialty clinics including Child Development, Surgery, Asthma and Allergy, Nephrology and Cystic Fibrosis.  Other clinics, such as Pediatric Cardiology, Neurology and Hematology are managed by visiting subspecialists from Saskatoon. 

- As with all pediatric programs, we employ the CBD (Competence by Design) curriculum, utilizing the Elentra system as our primary CBD data management tool. 

- Training experiences (rotations) are typically 2- or 4-week blocks with the majority taking place in Regina. Other rotation experiences will be scheduled in Saskatoon (3 blocks as a PGY1, 5-6 blocks as a PGY2 and PGY3, and 3-5 blocks as a PGY4). Opportunity exists for 3 electives at other accredited Pediatric institutions and for self-designed selectives that meet resident educational needs and Royal College requirements.

- Residents are well-supported by their program directors, administrative staff, and a progressive resident contract through the Resident Doctors of Saskatchewan (RDoS). There are 4 weeks of vacation time allotted per year. In addition, residents receive 6+ consecutive days over the Christmas/New Year's period, personal days (if needed), and in-lieu days for statutory holidays worked. 

- Resident scholarly projects (research) are well supported through a network of research experts (Division Head of Pediatric Research; Department Research Coordinator; and Department of Pediatrics biostatistician). Moreover, there is a Director of Resident Research (Pediatric Faculty member) who meets routinely with residents to support their scholarly project work. In addition, there is a research curriculum including didactic and self-directed modules and other resources is provided to foster research development. The University of Saskatchewan also provides excellent research supports, and all residents are provided funding to present their research.

- Another on-site resource is our well-equipped Simulation Centre used for practicing procedures and medical scenarios such as pediatric emergencies and codes. There is a Pediatric faculty member who serves as the Pediatric Simulation Director. 

- The Pediatric Program maintains a robust academic curriculum (highlighted below) including protected academic half-day, simulation (high fidelity simulation in our simulation lab as well as targeted clinical procedural rounds), Code Navy events, wellness rounds, journal club, a variety of resident-led and faculty-supported rounds (case rounds, topic rounds, and interpretation rounds), physical exam rounds, critical appraisal curriculum, Departmental Grand Rounds, practice examinations (STACERs, OSCEs, MCQs), a longitudinal Indigenous Health curriculum based upon the CPS Indigenous modules, a Teaching Course (TIPS), M&M Rounds, and much more. The academic curriculum is on a 3-year cycle. In the 4th year. residents in their Transition to Practice Stage (September - March) have their own, dedicated Transition to Practice curriculum aim to foster their growth as emerging, independent physicians. 

- Resident wellness is an important part of training and is supported through several resident-led and faculty-led initiatives, including staff/resident events, biannual resident retreats, and other College and community-wide opportunities. Many of our faculty are trained in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) and provide resident debriefing as required. Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) are prioritized across our program, overseen by faculty-resident committees, and hold a dedicated spot during Resident Program Committee meetings. In addition, there is an annual 'fun' academic half day as well as other wellness events and curriculum planned for the residents throughout the year. 

- The Regina General Hospital’s Medical Library offers an extensive collection of medical journals and a friendly staff to help with online searches.  In addition, as the Pediatric Residency Program is affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan, all residents will have access to a full complement of research and other academic services including their Health Sciences Library. Access to the University of Saskatchewan's online electronic journal archive is provided. Articles not available through the main library or electronic journal archives can be obtained free of charge through the interlibrary loan service. The department provides a yearly budget to residents for updating the resources (e.g. journals and books). Residents have access to up-to-date medical resources including UpToDate, AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) access, and CPS (Canadian Pediatric Society) access.

FAQ

Question: What is the relationship between the Saskatoon and Regina sites?

Answer: Our program director oversees the Pediatric Residency sites in both Saskatoon and Regina. In Regina, there are also site directors (Dr. Shauna Flavelle, Dr. Emilee Anderson) and program administrator (Lana Filby). 

Regina trainees spend time between Saskatoon and Regina. This includes: 3 blocks in the 1st year (Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Respirology, and Hematology/Oncology), 5-6 blocks in 2nd year (PICU x 2, selectives x 3-4), 5-6 in the 3rd year (Pediatric Emergency Medicine, PICU, and selectives x 3-4) and 3-5 blocks in the 4th year (PICU or Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2-4 selectives). 

The overall curriculum (academic half day, OSCEs, practice examinations, courses and certifications, and other core curriculum) are consistent between both sites. Furthermore, opportunities pertaining to research, wellness, and leadership are similar across both sites. 

The overall resident and faculty relationship between the Saskatoon and Regina sites is highly integrated and supportive.
