General information:

-Elective residents may be required to do call

-Learning and operating priorities are given to

UofO residents according to seniority –

however, UofO residents are away on

Wednesday afternoons (noon – 5pm) for

academic halfday, and you will likely be the only

learner

-You are welcome to join for academic half day

-There are scheduled journal clubs – you are

welcome to attend

-There is a francophone hospital, L’Hopital

Montfort. There are 11 generalist ob/gyns.

Gyne and OB experience is saturated with

UofOresidents – your surgical role in a gyne

elective would consist largely of observation;

you would be required to do call and cover floor

issues. However, if you are looking for an

ambulatory francophone experience, it is an

excellent group to work with.

responsibility of the resident to secure this
