This year the University of Toronto received 32 applications for entry into the PGY 4 Hematology program.  It again, was a very competitive year for Hematology with an excellent cohort of applications interviewed on Thurs. Oct 1, 2015.  We are pleased to welcome 5 new trainees to the PGY 4 Hematology program as of July 1, 2016:
 
Abdullah Al-Saleh              Dalhousie University (IFT)
Luciana Garcia                   Laval University
Laura Habib                        McGill University
Jai Jayakar                         University of Toronto
Miriam Kimpton                  University of Ottawa
                                                      
The annual Hematology Resident Retreat will be held in Toronto between July 15 to July 17, 2016. We anticipate that over 70 trainees from across Canada will be coming to Toronto for OSCE and hematopathology preparatory exams, workshops, and lectures. This year we will also be holding a Career networking workshop for our trainees. Please do contact Nina if you wish to volunteer any help for the oral or written examinations.
