Hosting More Than 400 Students Each Year

Our core programs host students from the University of Ottawa for their mandatory clerkship rotations in Medicine.

You will spend 6 weeks with us in 3^rd year, familiarizing yourself with Core Internal Medicine on one of our Clinical Teaching Units and then return in 4^th year for 2 weeks spent in a subspecialty of their choice.

If you are a University of Ottawa student with questions about your clerkship experience and/or opportunities in Medicine, please contact our Program Administrators at:
