Applications need to be received by the ROMP office no later than four months prior to the rotation's start date.
Credentials and hospital privileges will be secured through ROMP for all rotations, which is why it is important to submit your application and all supporting documents promptly for any rotation within south central Ontario.
Components of rural rotations include:
- Clinical - Lots of opportunities to improve on practical and procedural skills in many specialties and sub-specialties.
- Professional - Experiencing the diverse roles of physicians in communities and community hospitals, while working together as a team with local specialists.
- Social - Exposure to rural lifestyle and culture
