Educational Activities

The Postgraduate training program remains very successful under the guidance of the Program Director Dr. Kim Legault and the Program Coordinator Rennée Tremblay. Rheumatology continues to attract residents of the highest caliber to its training program. This year (2023), with Dr. Kim Legault, and Rennée Tremblay at the helm, the Rheumatology Residency Program successfully underwent an External Review by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons with very little to no changes to the program needed and was highly complemented to its dedication to educating future Rheumatologist.

Dr. Faiza Khokhar leads multiple educational initiatives including MSK Boot Camp organizer/supervisor and clinical skills preceptor for medical students and Dr. Carmona continues to guide undergraduate education as Director, Medical Foundation 4, MD Program and MSK Clinical Skill Coordinator, MD Program.

Dr. Arthur Lau is our coordinator for the PGY 1-3 residents rotating through Rheumatology as electives and continues to be strong in helping residents learn about Rheumatology as it fits into Internal Medicine.

Over the past 5 years we have established several Fellowships, including the Vasculitis Fellowship which I oversee as Program Director, the Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Fellowship and Scleroderma Fellowship, overseen by Dr. Maggie Larché, and most recently the Lupus Fellowship under the Leadership of Dr. Konstantinos Tselios.

Dr. Legault has been remarkable in her role in education as the Co-Chair of the Medicine Subspecialty Residency Program Directors’ Committee which has made major strides in collaboration with the other subspecialty training programs in Internal Medicine with sharing of resources, educational materials and academic half days.
