_, News   /  

St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton is now one of two hospitals in Canada to receive a prominent accreditation from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada for training physicians and surgeons in kidney transplantation.

“Accreditation from the Royal College places St. Joe’s as a national leader in the education of future surgeons and physicians,” says Dr. Azim Gangji, Renal Transplant Fellowship Program Director, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. “Our fellows learn under a very specialized and unique curriculum that allows them to practice transplantations at the top of their field.”

St. Joe’s Renal Transplant Program is unique in Canada as it is one of the few complex transplant programs in the country that can do all forms of kidney transplantation including high-risk kidney transplantation. The educational program provides fellows with a highly formalized and dedicated teaching structure that offers excellent clinical exposure in a collaborative and innovative environment. The program also conducts leading-edge research to improve the lives of the one million Canadians who live with moderate to severe kidney disease.
