Congratulations to Our New Residency and Fellowship Graduates

Virtual call video screens of graduates smiling

Virtual call video screens of graduates smilingJune is usually the time of year that we gather together at Hart House to celebrate our newest graduates and alumni, however the COVID-19 pandemic has unfortunately forced our Department to host our graduation ceremonies virtually. The health and safety of our community comes first in this decision, but we share the disappointment that many of our trainees and faculty hold, and we hope to come together again soon to truly celebrate the achievements of our graduates and award winners in-person.

Below you will find the names of our residency and fellowship graduates, as well the winners of our 2021 awards. Congratulations to all!

Stay safe and know that we'll be together again soon!
