Curriculum Objectives: Care of the Elderly

          

By the end of your residency, you will have achieved the competencies identified by the College of Family Physicians for Care of Adults.

To help you acquire these, you will rotate through selected clinical rotations, be supervised during your Family Medicine clinics, and have academic teaching sessions. You will also be expected to do your own self-study to complement and fill in gaps for preparation for your future practice and your exam.

Below are the clinical rotations/experiences that will support your acquisition of these clinical skills through all the stages of clinical disease.
