Dalla Lana School of Public Health

Royal College Fellowship in Occupational Medicine

Occupational Medicine is a branch of medicine that emphasizes prevention, and deals clinically and administratively with the health needs of both individuals and groups with respect to their working environments and includes the recognition, evaluation, control, management and rehabilitation of occupationally related diseases and injuries, and other conditions affecting ability to work. Currently, candidates certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in Internal Medicine or Public Health & Preventive Medicine may be eligible for training and certification in Occupational Medicine, however soon Occupational Medicine specialty training will commence directly after medical school.

The University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine offers both residency and fellowship training in Occupational Medicine through the Division of Occupational Medicine (within the Faculty’s Department of Medicine). Details of the residency program and application process can be found here. Information on the Occupational Medicine Fellowship training program can be found here. The Department of Medicine’s Division of Occupational Medicine has a collaborative relationship with the DLSPH Division of Occupational and Environmental Health. This enables the delivery of coursework components of both the medical residency and fellowship programs.
