Specifically, we may consider:Ranking process
The behavior(s) exhibited below during the interview process may prevent an applicant from being ranked by our program :Program Highlights
- Holistic and innovative approach including interdisciplinary professions and emphasizing whole-body movement, connectivity and health, and encompassing movement in all its forms
- Focus on biomechanics surrounding both acute and insidious onset injuries, which can result in symptomatic pain in another area
- Opportunities to provide event coverage in various settings
- Unique Leadership, Education, Advocacy, Research, and Non-Clinical (LEARN) program enables residents to tailor their learning experiences and launch their careers
Program Curriculum
This residency program is for 1 year.
Program length of training does not exceed the Royal College or College of Family Physicians of Canada standard.
The Sport and Exercise Medicine Program is a 1-year competency-based program broken down into three stages: Transition to Sport and Exercise Medicine, Core, and Transition to Practice.
Transition to Sport and Exercise Medicine
Residents start by spending time at a sports medicine clinic, which is often a multidisciplinary clinic with other healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, chiropractors or athletic therapists. Residents will further build their foundation in Sport and Exercise Medicine by spending time in a clinic which looks more closely at the role of fascia in the body and its interconnectivity. By analyzing movement patterns and understanding how history can connect injuries via fascia, residents will gain a broader view of causation for patients’ injuries and symptoms. This will be followed by blocks of Physiatry and Chronic Pain clinics. Residents will hone their assessment, diagnostic and treatment recommendation skills during these blocks.
Core Sport and Exercise Medicine
This phase includes time spent in specialty clinics, including sports orthopaedics and a variety of general orthopaedic clinics, to gain further exposure to techniques and patient encounters. There will be exposure to operating room time during these rotations as well. Residents will also train in the acute care setting, including the fracture and urgent care clinics. There will also be another block spent in sports medicine clinics to bring the knowledge and expertise gained from previous rotations back to the primary care sports medicine practice. Elective time will be provided to seek out specific learning opportunities that the resident is interested in.
Transition to Practice
This phase involves time at subspecialty clinics including hand/wrist and foot/ankle services. The goals will be to learn about the common conditions in these practices, how to diagnose them, conducting workups, initial treatments and when to refer to specialists. There will also be a block of various image-guided injection clinics where residents will get dedicated experience using point-of-care ultrasound to guide injections. This will be building on experience using this modality in previous blocks but will give dedicated time to focus on honing this skill. There will be another block of elective time provided in this period and the resident will be encouraged to pursue areas of clinical interest and electives that may facilitate future employment opportunities.
Longitudinal Components
There will be various longitudinal components throughout the year of enhanced-skills training.
- Half-day of varsity athletic clinic at Toronto Metropolitan University under the supervision of Dr. Presvelos. The resident will get exposure to acute and chronic injury management in high-level university athletes. The resident will gain knowledge and experience in diagnosis, treatment, and return-to-play decisions.
- Half-day of general sports medicine clinic. This half-day will be throughout the year to allow them to consolidate their knowledge and apply it to the general sports medicine practice. Residents will be encouraged to follow up with patients that they have seen before to prioritize continuity of care and mimic what their practice will be like after graduating.
- Event coverage opportunities. The resident will have ample event coverage opportunities throughout the year. This will help to gain skills in acute injury management and making acute return-to-play decisions. Furthermore, this will help to satisfy the event coverage requirement for obtaining their Canadian Academy of Sports and Exercise Medicine (CASEM) diploma.

LEARN Time
A novel program called LEARN Time (Leadership, Education, Advocacy, Research, and Non-clinical Time) will allow residents who are meeting or exceeding the standards of their program to access protected time that they may direct toward opportunities for experiential learning activities.
- It is anticipated that many residents will leverage this time to participate in work worthy of publication and scholarly work. While the Program’s Competence Subcommittees will oversee this program, central support for some elements of the LEARN Time program will also be provided. In particular, annual LEARN Time events will connect residents with individuals working in other areas of TMU, Peel, and surrounding committees. This will allow some ‘scholarly matchmaking’ to happen outside of the Program to connect residents with a broader array of scholarly opportunities.
- Residents may also use LEARN time to engage in other leadership and advocacy work, such as with the Ontario Medical Association, Professional Association of Residents of Ontario, College of Family Physicians of Canada, Ontario College of Family Physicians, etc.), allowing residents to engage with formal leadership and other opportunities early on in their careers. Residents may also engage in formal teaching and mentorship of TMU School of Medicine undergraduate medical students. They will receive a formal curriculum and informal mentorship opportunities to develop their teaching skills.
Training Sites
The TMU School of Medicine currently has clinical partnerships with multiple major training sites:
- William Osler Health System
- Trillium Health Partners
- Headwaters Health Care Centre
- Halton Healthcare
- Peel Region
- ErinoakKids
- Michael Garron Hospital
Residency training will leverage a distributed model which may include training at any of these sites for learning in environments, which include community and clinical settings, urban and rural environments, and inpatient and outpatient settings. While the majority of resident training will be focused in Peel and surrounding communities, additional learning experiences may take place at other training sites within Canada through Inter-University Affiliation Agreements. These agreements are subject to change and result in training at sites other than those that are listed above.
Travel to various locations will be required. Access to a personal vehicle will be beneficial, though anyone with access to a reliable means of transportation is encouraged to consider this program.
