Bloorview training draws pediatricians worldwide

University of Toronto’s training program in developmental pediatrics is based at Bloorview and prepares pediatricians to assess and treat children with developmental disabilities as part of a multi-disciplinary rehab team. The program draws clinical fellows from around the world.
We asked a few why they chose Bloorview.

“Bloorview is a big hospital with a densely populated catchment area, so my chances of seeing a large volume of patients, which is very important during a limited, two-year fellowship, were better. The academic and research parts of the program are excellent.”
Dr. Michal Begin
Jerusalem, Israel

“As a pediatrician, I’m trained to know concrete pathology. But kids with disabilities are so intricate. No two are the same. You can’t learn about them in a textbook or in medical school. You need hands-on interaction in a rehab hospital like Bloorview.”
Dr. Sharon Smile
Kingston, Jamaica

“Canada has an excellent reputation internationally for training doctors in many specialties. The developmental pediatrics program at Bloorview is one of the few programs that offer training in neurodevelopment anywhere in the world. I was unable to find such a training program in Ireland or Britain, where I had previously trained.”
Dr. Siobhan Gallagher
Limerick, Ireland

“Bloorview’s developmental pediatrics program has many renowned experts in developmental and behavioural fields, especially in autism and cerebral palsy at Bloorview, and neurology at SickKids. The program gave me rich experiences in clinical, research and academic activities. I learned a lot in the area of autism and how to assess children with unique tools. That’s been very useful when I returned to my country.”
Dr. Kay Lekagul
Bangkok, Thailand
