2 Postgraduate Medical Education Postgraduate medical training is a component of eligibility for licensure in Canada. Programs are operated by the University of Alberta according to guidelines established by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Postgraduate training accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada is available under the auspices of the Department of Family Medicine. In addition to the standard two-year program required for certification in Family Medicine, a Certificate of Added Competency (CAC) certificate recognizing enhanced skills in the area of program in Emergency Medicine, Care of the Elderly, Family Practice Anesthesia, Palliative Care, Occupational Medicine and Sport and Exercise Medicine and a diploma program in Care of the Elderly are also available with an additional year of training. Specialty programs accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada include the following: Primary Certification Programs Anaesthesiology and Pain Medicine Anatomical Pathology Cardiac Surgery Community Public Health and Preventive Medicine Dermatology Diagnostic Radiology Emergency Medicine General Pathology General Surgery Haematological Pathology Head and Neck Surgery Internal Medicine Medical Microbiology Neurology (Adult and Paediatric) Neurosurgery Nuclear Medicine Obstetrics and Gynaecology Occupational Medicine Ophthalmology Orthopaedic Surgery Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Paediatrics Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Plastic Surgery Psychiatry

All postgraduate medical trainees are registered as graduate students in the Division of Postgraduate Medical Education of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and pay a program registration fee. Application for entry-level postgraduate positions in all Primary Certification Programs is made through the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) in the final year of medical school. Further information is available from the Canadian Resident Matching Service, 2283 St Laurent Blvd Ste 110, Ottawa, ON K1G 3H7. Certificate of Special Competence program require prior training in a Primary Certification Program. All

4 international medical graduates must pass the Evaluating Examination and Part I of the Qualifying Examination of the Medical Council of Canada. Information is available from the Medical Council of Canada, Box 8234, Station T, Ottawa, ON K1G 3H7. The requirements for a portable license valid in all Canadian provinces except Quebec are as follows: 1. An MD degree. 2. The Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC), obtained after successfully passing Parts I and II of the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE). Part I is normally written in May of the final year of medical school. Part II is normally written after completing 12 months of postgraduate clinical training. 3. Certification from either the College of Family Physicians of Canada or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Further information regarding licensure is available from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, #2700 Telus Plaza, Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0N3. Note: For classification purposes, postgraduate medical students are considered graduate students. As such, they have the option of paying fees to the Graduate Students' Association.

5 Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Department of PHARMACOLOGY Calendar Changes for PMCOL Introductory Pharmacology Course will no longer be offered in 2018/19 3 (fi 6) (either term, 3-0-0) An introduction to the discipline of pharmacology. What are drugs and how do they bring about their effects? How and why do drugs work in a dose-dependent manner? What happens to a drug after you swallow or inject it? These and related questions are addressed and the underlying pharmacological principles illustrated with a variety of theoretical and real-life examples. Prerequisites: CHEM 101 and BIOL 107. Limited to 2nd and 3rd year students. Rationale: Due to program restructuring, these topics will now be contained in a new third year course that will appear in 2019/20 NEW COURSE PMCOL 200 Drugs An Introduction to Pharmacology Using examples of commonly used drugs (both therapeutic and illicit), we will explore what drugs do to the human body and in turn, what the body does to drugs. Recommended for students with an interest in pursuing medical science degrees and programs. Prerequisites: CHEM 101 and BIOL 107 or equivalent. Open to 2nd and 3rd year students only. Rationale: this will serve as the new introductory course to our program. It will be sufficiently different in content, philosophy and focus from our previous introductory course that it requires a new title and hence a new course number Department Contact: _Martin Davies 1

6 Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Department of PHARMACOLOGY Calendar Changes for PMCOL Scientific Basis of Pharmacology: Part I 3 (fi 6) (first term, 3-0-0) This course, together with the subsequent PMCOL 344, provides a comprehensive study of the modern science of pharmacology. The objective of the course is to study how drugs act on physiological systems. The areas covered will include neuropharmacology and neuroendocrine pharmacology. This course may be especially useful to those students who wish to pursue a career in health sciences. Prerequisite: PMCOL 201 or PMCOL 202 or equivalent. Pre or corequisite: BIOCH 200 and PHYSL 210, or 212 and 214, or consent of instructor. In the case of over subscription, preference will be given to students in the Pharmacology Specialization or Honors Programs. PMCOL Scientific Basis of Pharmacology: Part I 3 (fi 6) (first term, This course, together with the subsequent PMCOL 344, provides a comprehensive study of the modern science of pharmacology. The objective of the course is to study how drugs act on physiological systems with an emphasis on therapeutic applications. This course may be especially useful to those students who wish to pursue a career in health sciences. Prerequisite: a 200-level PMCOL course or consent of instructor. Pre or corequisite: PHYSL 210, or 212 and 214, or consent of instructor. In the case of over subscription, preference will be given to students in the Pharmacology Specialization or Honors Programs. Rationale: changes reflect updated content of the course and updated prerequisites due to recent changes in our 200-level courses PMCOL Scientific Basis of Pharmacology: Part II PMCOL Scientific Basis of Pharmacology: Part II 3 (fi 6) (second term, 3-0-0) A continuation of PMCOL 343 with an emphasis on gastrointestinal pharmacology, chemotherapy of malignant and infectious diseases and pharmacological intervention in metabolic diseases. Prerequisite: PMCOL 343 or consent of instructor. In the case of over subscription, preference will be given to students in the Pharmacology Specialization or Honors Programs. 3 (fi 6) (second term, 3-0-0) A continuation of PMCOL 343, this course will examine the therapeutic application of a variety of drugs and the mechanism(s) by which they affect physiological systems. Pre or co-requisite: PHYSL 210, or 212 and 214, or consent of instructor. In the case of over subscription, preference will be given to students in the Pharmacology Specialization or Honors Programs.

This course will cover topics related to the pharmacological investigation of cellular transduction systems, the discovery of small molecules that alter cell signaling, and how pharmacological manipulation of these signaling pathways may be useful in the drug treatment of a diverse range of diseases, including metastatic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, immune, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Prerequisites: PMCOL 343 and 344. PMCOL Signal Transduction Systems as Pharmacological Targets 3 (fi 6) (either term, 3-0-0) Regulation of various aspects of cell regulation, including proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, survival, motility, and gene transcription takes place via an array of wellorganized signal transduction pathways. This course will cover topics related to the investigation of cellular transduction systems, and how pharmacological manipulation of these signaling pathways may be useful in the treatment of a diverse range of neurologic, neurodegenerative, inflammatory, immune and metabolic diseases. Prerequisites: PMCOL 343 and 344 or PMCOL 371 or ZOO 342 or consent of the instructor.
