After completing four years of medical school and receiving your Doctor of Medicine, your medical education and training doesn’t stop there. The next step is completing a postgraduate residency program. With so many programs available across Canada, what makes a program seem unique or the best fit for a medical student?

Dr. Dave Lundrigan (B.Sc.’05, MD’17) is a busy guy. Like most of us, Dr. Lundrigan has a mortgage and bills to pay. But the fourth year psychiatry resident is also working 50-60 hours a week while he and his wife wait for baby number three to arrive.

Jason Hearn’s passion for innovation and health equity led him here - to Memorial University’s doctor of medicine (MD) program. The same passion also led him to help heart failure patients 10,000 kms away in Uganda, Africa. That idea came about when he was a graduate student and the notion of combining innovation and medicine inspired Hearn’s career path.
