Teaching and Training

1. Infectious Diseases Residency Program

McGill University offers either a 2-year Infectious Diseases training, or a 3-year combined specialty residency training program in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, for residents who have completed prior training in Internal Medicine. Both programs are accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. For more information on the residency admissions process, please visit https://www.mcgill.ca/pgme/programs/residency-programs and open the Internal Medicine tab.

2. Clinical fellowships (Formation Complementaire)

In addition to the core training program in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, we offer Clinical Fellowships (1-year program combining clinical training and research) in 4 sub-speciality areas of Infectious Diseases:

Transplant ID
TB/Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial infections
Tropical Medicine
Antimicrobial Stewardship

Candidates must secure funding or be sponsored in order to apply for these Fellowships. For more information on the programs and the admissions process, please visit https://www.mcgill.ca/pgme/programs/fellowship-programs and open the Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases tab."

The Division of Infectious Diseases at the MUHC, in partnership with the McGill University affiliated teaching sites at the Jewish General Hospital and Saint

McGill University Campus

Mary's Hospital, also oversees training of residents from other programs at McGill. The MUHC expertise in transplant, tropical medicine, chronic viral infections, mycology, and mycobacteriology/tuberculosis contribute to the diverse and rich clinical exposure that residents and fellows can expect and which also benefit trainees across Quebec and Canada. We also provide training in infection control and antibiotic stewardship to residents, pharmacists, nurses and public health fellows.

As a hub of microbiology laboratory testing within the provincial network of laboratories, and being committed to quality laboratory services and cutting edge diagnostics, the MUHC provides an ideal environment for the development of the Infectious Disease specialists and Medical Microbiologists of tomorrow.

Please note that the Division of Infectious Diseases does not offer Clinical Observerships at this time.

There are currently fellowship positions available in Tropical Medicine, Antimicrobial Stewardship, TB/Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria, and Transplant ID. Candidates must secure funding in order to apply for these Fellowships.
