The Canadian Medicine Primer (CMP) aims to facilitate a successful transition to residency training and postgraduate education in Ontario for visa trainees (residents and clinical fellows). Courses are designed to provide an orientation to the Canadian health care system and prepare visa trainees to work effectively in Ontario health care environments.
Visa trainees attend simulated patient encounters and facilitated in-class sessions. Large- and small-group simulations provide an opportunity to practise and receive feedback on communication, professionalism, patient management skills and medical expertise.Visa fellows are guided into a supervisory role, exploring the theory and practice of providing feedback to residents in clinical settings.
