The residency program committee (RPC) is responsible for delivering and monitoring the education curriculum for the residents in the division.
The Chair of the Residency Program Committee is the Program Director. The Program Director is appointed by the Division Head. The head of each hospital/training site within the program sits on the committee. There is a representative from all major programs (hand, aesthetic, craniofacial, burn). There is a representative from research and also a representative from education. Our Program Administrator also sits on this committee. There are two Resident representatives on this Committee, a junior and a senior. Each of these Resident representatives is elected by their peers in the Program.
In addition to overseeing the delivery of the curriculum, the Residency Program Committee also monitors resident progress, is responsible for determining if residents have satisfied the annual requirements of training, and is the committee that selects in coming residents through the CaRMS (Canadian Residency Match Service) annual match.
