The Section is predominantly an out-patient ambulatory care specialty, but we also provide inpatient consultation at all hospitals of the WRHA.

There is high demand for rotations by residents through our RCPS of Canada approved training program. Subspecialty residents, Internal Medicine residents and medical students are involved in a variety of research projects, with presentations at national and international meetings.
