The residency program is a medical postgraduate training program leading to Royal College certification as a specialist in Public Health and Preventive Medicine (formerly Community Medicine). This is the specialty that focuses on the health of populations, on prevention, health promotion and health protection, using epidemiology and data analysis as its basic science.
There are a number of career paths, including working in various levels of the public health system (regional, provincial, national or international), as a medical epidemiologist, in clinical preventive medicine, in academic medicine, or in health administration.
Saskatoon, where many of the placements are based, is an attractive and livable small city with a university strongly linked to the community. The program includes placements in a number of other locations around the province to take full advantage of varied learning opportunities.
It is a new program, having started in the summer of 2011.
