Goldbloom Fellows
Goldbloom Fellows are community-based pediatricians who provide important preceptorship and guidance to our Pediatric trainees through their involvement in our Resident Continuity Clinic. Rather than placing this clinic within a tertiary hospital setting, it was felt important to replicate as best as possible the feel and experience of a community-based practice by having the clinical opportunity within community practice locales.
The name of the Fellows is in recognition of Alton Goldbloom, a prior Chair and Chief of the Department of Pediatrics and his sons Richard and Victor, who were all community-based pediatricians who each left an enormous legacy to child health in Canada.
