Program Description:
The training program in the Department of Clinical
Biochemistry, established in 1968, is the largest in Canada and
trains an average of 2-3 candidates per year.
The program is 2 years in duration. Courses taken by candidates
include clinical biochemistry, analytical clinical chemistry,
techniques in functional genomics & proteomics, metabolism
& nutrition, epidemiology and statistics, and management.
Teaching methods used include didactic, directed reading, resident
presentations, seminars, case-oriented teaching, and practical
exercises.
The first-year hospital rotation is based on a laboratory rotation
guide which has been published and which provides direction for
the learning experience in the analytical and clinical aspects
of the profession. Molecular biology is included in the first
year of training. Training in the second year includes specialty
rotations in pediatrics & toxicology, genetic metabolic laboratory,
microbiology, hematology, GC-MS/Tandem MS, and microarrays/sequencing.
All residents are required to carry out at least 3 projects in
the area of diagnostic test development, and participate in rounds
and seminars, case presentation and journal club sessions, weekly
discussions with faculty, investigation and approval of unusual
tests, teaching, and elective periods for specialization, or applied
or basic research.
