The Public Health and Preventive Medicine (PHPM) program at Queen’s University is a unique training program jointly administered by the Department of Family Medicine and Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington (KFL&A) Public Health. Over five years of training, residents develop their skills as physicians through learning experiences that explore ways to improve the health of individuals and communities at the local, provincial, national, and international levels. Upon graduation, residents receive certification from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Most residents also choose to receive certification from the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
If you are a medical student in Canada and interested in learning more about our program, feel free to reach out to our lead residents at dfm-phpmrelead@queensu.ca. We would love to have you join us for academic half-day on Friday mornings from 9:00 to 12:00 EST, either virtually or in-person, as well as answer any questions you may have about our program. We also are aware that clerkship elective scheduling can be challenging. If you are interested in an elective with us and no opportunities are available on the portal, please reach out. We have many faculty members across the region who would be willing to host a student for an engaging elective experience.
