Residents
 Participating in a rural rotation is more than just a great learning opportunity; it is a real experience that includes community lifestyle, culture and local outdoor pursuits.
Important – All applications for resident rotations must be submitted at least one month prior to the rotation start date. Applications for specialty rotations must be submitted no later than six weeks before the start date. Residents are asked to find their own preceptor if rotations are less than four weeks in duration. Credentials and hospital privileges will be secured through ROMP for all rotations, which is why it is important to submit your application to ROMP promptly for any rotation within south central Ontario.
