Re: UofT Psychiatry accredited subspecialties
—————
The University of Toronto Department of Psychiatry is the only Department in Canada to be accredited for all three psychiatry subspecialties!
We are delighted to announce that our Department has just received confirmation from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) that the University of Toronto is the only university to receive accreditation for all three psychiatry subspecialty programs in child and adolescent psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry and forensic psychiatry. These subspecialties were just approved by RCPSC in the spring of 2011. It is only through the exemplary efforts and planning of the program directors and their committees that this accreditation was achieved. Congratulations to Drs. John Langley (child), Rob Madan (geriatric) and Lisa Ramshaw (forensic) and their teams for their leadership in psychiatric education in Canada.
