Message from the Associate Dean

On behalf of the Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) Office of the College of Medicine, I am pleased to welcome you to the University of Saskatchewan and our province-wide PGME community. As the Associate Dean, Postgraduate Medical Education I oversee the education of the residents (currently 25 residency programs) accredited by the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada or the College of Family Physicians of Canada.

We are proud to offer challenging and rewarding residency training programs taught in diverse clinical settings by dedicated physicians, educators, researchers. With the support and collaboration of our provincial and national health system partners, we are committed to providing exceptional educational experience in a patient-centered environment.  Our goal is to develop clinicians who excel at meeting the needs of the society, are culturally competent, and will become leaders who can drive health system transformation.

Our strategy to PGME is centered on social and organizational accountability, learner experience and success and academic programming.

Our Office provides a number of services and resources to our residents and programs in a welcoming, respectful and supportive environment. We maintain an open-door policy and welcome inquiries from residents, physicians considering our institution for residency and our partner stakeholder organizations.

Your suggestions to further enhance PGME in Saskatchewan are welcome.

National Resident Doctors Appreciation Week

Dear Residents:

On National Resident Doctors Appreciation week this is to express my gratitude and to thank you for all the work you are doing to ensure success within your programs and within our health-care system.

As role models in the University of Saskatchewan, the College of Medicine and our rural and urban communities each one of you is sincerely appreciated.  Many residents worked through the extremely stressful, challenging COVID-19 pandemic, providing care and coming forward to help others who were overburdened, when needed. For those who have entered residency post-pandemic, you are working through the challenges of the extreme burdens in our health-care system and all residents continue to meet the demands and needs of patients simultaneously working toward your own goal of being the best physician you can be.  You lead with integrity, passion and compassion and for these reasons we are grateful to all of you for always stepping up and meeting challenges or obstacles that arise in your training. 

All of our resident doctors matter; we are honored by your integrity, your dedication to Medicine and the collaboration within our residency training programs, the College of Medicine and the communities you serve in Saskatchewan.

On behalf of everyone at the University of Saskatchewan, the College of Medicine and PGME - thank you and we are honored to recognize each and every one of you on this National Resident Doctors Appreciation Week.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Baetz
Interim Dean, College of Medicine
