The division has over 30 faculty members practicing alongside their Royal College trained colleagues at two academic health care institutions across 4 sites in Hamilton, in addition to several part time faculty members distributed across sites in Niagara, Brantford, Burlington, Brampton, Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo regions.

Educational excellence is central to our mission, and we are proud of the collaborative partnerships we have built with our Family Medicine and Royal College colleagues and community partners. In addition to the close connections between residency training programs, there are many joint faculty-led quality-improvement, continuing professional development and education projects underway across the tri-divisions, that aim to enhance the quality and impact of our clinical and teaching practices practice and strengthen the cohesion of our Mac Emerg community.

Our engaged and passionate faculty members are actively involved at all levels of undergraduate and post graduate training, from medical students and pre-clerks to senior residents. Under the stewardship of Dr. Erich Hanel and his team, the postgraduate Certificate of Added Competence in Emergency Medicine has doubled in size and has become one of Canada’s pre-eminent training sites, offering learners a robust clinical and academic curriculum that not only prepares them to independently practice emergency medicine but also to grow and advance the field within their communities. We are incredibly proud of our graduates, many of whom have chosen to build their careers in Hamilton and have made significant contributions to education, institutional and academic leadership, and scholarship at McMaster.
