Thank you for your interest in McGill’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) subspecialty residency program.
Language Policy
An attraction of the McGill program is its location in a cosmopolitan French milieu. The language of instruction for educational sessions is English. In the clinical setting, while many - but not all - McGill-affiliated hospitals provide a primarily English work environment, the patient population includes many French-speaking children and adolescents - and their families.
As such, our program cannot accept unilingual Anglophone or Francophone candidates due to various significant factors (Collège des médecins du Québec requirements, patient safety, and patient exposure). Residents will not be allowed to choose patients based on language proficiency.
Incoming residents will be expected to conduct a simple assessment in both English and French. Residents are provided with various sources of support both internal and external to learn French and English as it pertains to a child and adolescent psychiatric evaluation.
