Non-Ministry Funded Residency Positions

Applicants who do not fulfill the criteria to apply for funding from the Quebec Ministry of Health can apply for a Royal College-accredited residency program (of 3 years in length or less) provided they have funding from an acceptable source. Acceptable sources of funding include monies from a government, a scientific or international organization, a university or a faculty of medicine. All other sources of funding (for example, self-funding) will be refused. Unfunded training is not possible. The minimum acceptable bursary is the equivalent of the R-1 salary (approx. $43,000 per year). Additionally, scholarships must cover the tuition and other student services fees.  Please consult the appropriate section on this:  Student Services and Fees.

Please note that in order for a physician to be able to be considered for a fellowship (post residency training) they must hold a specialty certificate from a Board or College (eg: in order to be able to apply for the Cognitive / Behavioral Neurology Fellowship applicants should be Neurology Specialist).

We are able to consider applicants as follows. Please consult each section for eligibility criteria and application process.

a) Graduates of Quebec medical schools. (Grads of QC Med Schools)

b) Canadian graduates of Canadian Medical schools other than the four Quebec Faculties (Grads of non-QC Canada)

All applications for non-Ministry funded positions are channeled through the Postgrad Admissions office.  For assistance, please click on the HELP link at the top of this page. 

We are unable to consider incomplete files. Files of eligible applicants will be transmitted to the Program Director by the Postgrad Admissions office.  Eligible selected applicants will be invited for interviews.

We do not offer partial training and can only consider applications for a full training program, where eligibility criteria permit.  We will therefore not consider applications for 5 years or more programs, where the trainee's eligibility is limited to 3 years or less.
