Annual Report - Postgraduate Medical Education 2010-11
Medical Trainee Days (MTDs) are becoming an increasingly
important measure of teaching activity in both our
full and community affiliated hospitals. The data is tracked
by individual hospitals according to standards set by the
MOHLTC. The information is then used by the Ministry
in the overall hospital funding formula and, more recently,
it has also been used to determine funding for overhead
and additional expenses related to teaching in
community affiliates.
“
PGME at the University of Toronto is
the leading contributor of new graduate
physicians entering practice in Canada
and Ontario each year.
”
MTDs are tracked for medical students, residents and
fellows according to their level of training, the medical
school of registration, hospital, training program, and
rotation service.
There are over 1 million teaching days at U of T’s full and
community affiliates, including over 865,000 trainee days
for residents and fellows. Figure 7 below shows that trainee
days for UofT PG residents and fellows represent over 30%
of all PG trainee days in Ontario hospitals. In 2009-10,
the majority of those PG trainee days occurred at the University
Health Network (289,346), St. Michael’s Hospital
(171,000), Sunnybrook (166,000), Sick Kids (155,000), and
Mt. Sinai (152,000). Figure 8 reveals that an increasing
number of training days are also occurring in community
affiliate hospitals.
