Residents Section

Welcome to the Residents Section webpage!

Paediatric residents are an active and important component of the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS). Making up nearly a quarter of membership, 94% of all paediatric residents in Canada —more than 500—belong to the CPS.

The Residents Section provides a forum for residents to develop ideas and discuss issues related to the training and education of Canadian paediatric residents. The Section is active in areas such as advocacy and professional development, particularly during the CPS Annual Conference.

Please contact your Resident Section Officers at S-Res_officers@cps.ca with any comments or ideas you may have.
