Introduction to the Residency Program

The University of British Columbia's pediatric residency training program is designed to provide quality postgraduate training experiences, preparing doctors to be highly competent, confident, and compassionate pediatric specialists and subspecialists. The program aims to equip residents with the skills necessary to meet the needs of patients and communities in British Columbia.

Program Overview

The mission of the UBC pediatric residency training program is to provide quality postgraduate training experiences to prepare doctors to be highly competent, confident, and compassionate pediatric specialists and subspecialists. The program is fully integrated with the Vancouver site and has expanded to include a second site in Victoria and a third site in Surrey.

Program Structure

The program is a four-year residency program that provides exposure to acute care and ambulatory pediatrics, as well as subspecialties. The program includes a graded responsibility from junior to senior residency, with training in the tertiary care setting and time spent in community practices and hospitals throughout the province of BC.

Program Sites

The program has three sites:

• Vancouver site: The main site of the program, located at BC Children's Hospital.
  • Community Impact stream: A stream that focuses on addressing health inequities for underserved populations and providing care in rural and remote communities.
  • Research stream: A stream that provides one resident the opportunity to enhance their research interests and refine skills in research methodology.
• Victoria site: A site located in Victoria, BC, that offers a community-based program with hands-on experience.
• Surrey site: A site located in Surrey, BC, that offers a community-based program with hands-on experience.

Program Curriculum

The program curriculum includes:

• Academic half-days: Weekly academic activities that include lectures, discussions, and case presentations.
• Grand Rounds: Weekly grand rounds that include presentations on various topics related to pediatrics.
• Simulation curriculum: A longitudinal simulation curriculum that includes resuscitation scenarios and mock codes.
• Research curriculum: A research curriculum that includes a year-specific research curriculum for first-year residents and a resident journal club.

Program Requirements

All residents are expected to:

• Work on clinical, basic science, or medical education research projects.
• Present their work at least once at the annual Celebrate Research Day or another conference.
• Participate in resident-driven local health advocacy projects, outreach programs, and global child health initiatives.

Program Outcomes

The program aims to equip residents with the skills necessary to:

• Provide high-quality patient care.
• Demonstrate competence in clinical care, medical education, clinical research, and child health advocacy.
• Assume a consultant's role in pediatric careers.

Program Culture

The program has a strong focus on faculty and resident development, recognizing the culture shift required to allow for more directly observed patient encounters and frequent coaching feedback needed to demonstrate competency in Competence By Design. The program also prioritizes wellness, community building, and other professional competencies, with regular resident education retreats and a Careers Night.

The Department of Pediatrics and the pediatrics residency program at UBC have an interest in social pediatrics and the health of underserved children and youth. Residents have opportunities to engage in resident-driven local health advocacy projects, outreach programs within Western Canada, and global child health initiatives, including social pediatrics electives and electives overseas. Partnerships exist with hospitals in several countries, including South Africa and Australia.

The program has approximately 80 residents over the three sites. The unique combination of early sub-specialty training and broad community-based exposures prepares residents to follow many different career paths. The program successfully launched the Royal College’s competency-based medical education program, Competence By Design, in July 2021. The new rotation curriculum reflects the new stages of training set forth by the Royal College, with careful attention paid to the ways in which the first-year residents transition into pediatric residency. The three-block transition stage includes a month-long orientation block.

Residents attend mandated academic activities, including academic half-days and Grand Rounds on a weekly basis. These are video conferenced to the distributed sites throughout the province. Residents practice resuscitation scenarios in the high-fidelity simulator program, both on acute care rotations and in their longitudinal simulation curriculum in the academic half-day. Regular mock codes take place for CTU residents. Each year, there are two resident education retreats that incorporate wellness, community building, and other professional competencies, as well as a Careers Night, attended by residents from all sites.

All residents are expected to work on clinical, basic science, or medical education research and to present their work at least once at the annual Celebrate Research Day or another conference. First-year residents take part in a year-specific research curriculum during the academic half-day. The resident Journal Club is scheduled bimonthly and introduces residents to key clinical research methodologies and critical appraisal of the literature.

The program provides a fantastic opportunity to be part of a community-based program with lots of hands-on experience, guided by enthusiastic faculty. The Fraser region and Vancouver Island sites of the UBC Pediatrics Residency Program are fully integrated with the Vancouver site of the program. Residents from both sites will spend 6-16 weeks per year at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver doing rotations that are, by necessity, in a children’s hospital. They join the BCCH-based residents in person several times a year for educational events.

In 2024, a research stream was added to the Vancouver Site. This track provides one resident the opportunity to enhance their research interests, refine skills in research methodology, and to present and publish their work during the 4 years of pediatric residency – with an estimated six months dedicated to research within this training time. All clinical requirements aligned with Competence by Design must also be fulfilled.
