Canada’s lowest tuition fees including an overall lower cost

Manitobans have one of the highest rates of vacation
home ownership in Canada. Our province is home to
over 100,000 lakes and for generations Manitobans have
enjoyed weekends at the lake with family and friends. In

year-round havens for campers, fishers, hikers and lovers
of the great outdoors.

Pediatric Anesthesia
The Department of Anesthesia & Perioperative Medicine,
University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Health Sciences Centre
is accepting applications for candidates interested in
Fellowship training in Pediatric Anesthesia.
The Children’s Hospital is a major referral centre. There are
over 8,000 anesthetic cases each year at Children’s Hospital
including neurosurgical, craniofacial, thoracic, neonatal,
major orthopedic and urologic, general, ENT, and plastic
surgical procedures. Several clinicians have interest and
experience in the delivery of regional anesthesia. New
technologies have increased the requirement for ‘off-site’
procedures and the anesthesia department at Children’s
Hospital currently provides anesthesia for children in
ten locations within the Health Sciences Centre. Our role
has also expanded to include an active anesthesia preadmission clinic and acute pain service.
Experience in specialized surgical procedures not
performed at Children’s Hospital will be provided through
clinical rotations at other pediatric institutions.
All anesthesiologists within the Section have University
appointments within the Departments of Anesthesia &
Perioperative Medicine and Child Health. Seven of the
eight hold pediatric anesthesia fellowships from centres
such as Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto,
Michigan, Australia, and Montreal.
The fellow must have successfully completed an
Anesthesia Residency program, and be eligible to sit
the Examinations of the Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Canada.

The Canmeds 2000 project by the Royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons is an attempt to provide a
framework for outlining the educational needs of
residents in specialty training which incorporated the
skills and attributes needed by society now, as well as
the ability to build on those skills as the needs of society
change in their future as specialty physicians. The
Canmeds 2000 system envisions the educational mission
as being to prepare the trainee to fulfill seven roles, with
their attendant attributes. Although pediatric anesthesia
is not yet a recognized subspecialty by the Royal College,
the use of this framework provides for consistency with
other elements of specialty training in Canada, and is a
comprehensive model for conceptualizing educational
goals and objectives.
