In 2008, the University of Calgary Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Training Program commenced its fifth year.  There are now 9 residents in the program.  In 2008 we received two residents through the CaRMS match and one resident transferred from another University of Calgary program.  The division formally applied for two base positions to commence in 2009 and the division was successful so as of July 2009 there will be two base positions each year.

The program has developed a very active academic half day for residents. The Residency Training Committee meets monthly (summer excepted) and the Program Director has formal biannual meetings with each resident and informally more frequently. The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Training Program has residents from rheumatology, neurosurgery and neurology rotating through the program. 

In September of 2008 a weekly Senior Medical Resident Clinic began under the supervision of Dr. Stephanie Plamondon 

Residents 2008:

Drs. Lee Burkholder, Chantel Debert, Darren Gumbs, Arun Gupta, Jaime Yu, Andrew Willmott, Dr. Brian Rambaransingh, Dr. Gentson Leung, Dr. Evan Kwong
