Background

The UBC Faculty of Medicine (FoM), through its Office of Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME), provides postgraduate medical training in Royal College and Family Medicine training programs. These programs span multiple training sites and are distributed to clinical academic campuses and affiliated regional centers across the province. To accommodate the government funded increase in MD undergraduate graduates, the PGME program has progressively increased the number of residents admitted to its programs. Since 2003, the resident cohort has grown from approximately 700 to more than 1,400.

The Postgraduate Medical Education programs currently provide training across more than five sites throughout the Interior region and includes both Family Medicine and Royal College residency programs. The most recent of these is the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) Residency Program in Internal Medicine (RCPSC‑IM). At any given time, more than 70 residents are situated in the Interior region, with continued growth projected as distributed medical education expands over the coming years.

The Southern Medical Program (SMP) is one of four distributed Medical Undergraduate Programs (MDUP) within the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine. The program is delivered in partnership with the University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), and the University of Victoria (UVic), and in close collaboration with the Interior Health Authority (IH). The SMP delivers education and training at five primary education sites-UBC Okanagan, Kelowna General Hospital, Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Royal Inland Hospital, and Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital-as well as at regional and community hospitals, community health centers, and family physician offices across approximately 30 communities throughout the Interior.
