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.
