All potential candidates for the Pediatric Critical Care program at the Université de Montréal must have completed three years of Pediatrics.

Candidates who are not graduates from a Canadian or US Medical School (IMGs) are not eligible unless they hold an equivalent medical diploma from the Collège des Médecins du Québec and are already registered in a Québec medical school in the regular contingent or in the particular contingent.

Particular contingent: positions are offered to candidates (excluding IMGs) who are registered in a Canadian or American medical school, as well as to candidates (including IMGs) who are currently registered in a Québec medical school in the particular contingent.

Applications submitted after the File Review has opened on March 24, 2011 will not be considered.

References and other supporting documents which arrive after the File Review has opened on March 24, 2011 will be considered.

Date(s) of Interview: April 17 and 24, 2012
The candidates will meet the members of the admissions and evaluation committee. Interviews will be conducted at the CHU Sainte-Justine.

All applicants will be evaluated by evaluating their academic file and personal interviews. Special attention will be given to clinical performance during their Pediatric residency. When all interviews are completed and all files are revised, a final rank order will be attributed to all candidates based on their global achievement.

The Pediatric Critical Care program is of a minimal length of 2 or 3 years. Every year is divided into 13 periods of 4 weeks. 12-15 periods take place in a multidisciplinary pediatric critical care service, including postoperative cardiac surgery care.

The first year is usually nearly entirely dedicated to clinical care. During this year, the program includes the following rotations:

- At least 7 periods in general intensive care (medical-surgical) pediatric or in post operative pediatric cardiac surgery.

- At least 1 period in pediatric anesthesia.

- At least 2 periods in research.

The second year of the program is first and foremost dedicated to research. The second year of the program is distributed as follows:

- 2-4 periods in general intensive care (medical-surgical) pediatric or in post operative pediatric cardiac surgery.

- Up to 9 periods in research or in optional rotations.

The program proposed here high can be adapted in order to allow the candidate to get a Masters in biomedical Sciences, option clinical research, during the 2 years where the candidate participates in the pediatric critical care program.

Residents must participate in a multiple courses including Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and Advanced Trauma Life Support. A set of technical sessions on the use of technology in the intensive care, as well as a set of lectures on the cardiac pathologies and on the use of ECMO (Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation) are given every year.

The Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine is the primary training site which includes a 28 bed multidisciplinary intensive care and a six bed stepdown unit.
