Medical Residents
Lennox and Addington County General Hospital is a teaching facility and welcomes Queens Medical Residents to spend time with our physicians. We trust your learning experience will be rewarding and beneficial.
As we are a paperless/electronic environment, it is of the utmost importance for Residents to have paperwork (forms below) completed well in advance of arrival for your rotation, so that staff can plan for related training.

All residents who will be doing hospitalist work are invited to MetricAid at the beginning of the academic year. If you have not received an invite, please contact Dr. Crystal Gonu. As soon as you get your MetricAid invite, please be sure to:
- Enter your phone number and edit your contact information. Physicians, switchboard and unit clerks will be able to access this. We depend on this for contacting you when you are on call.
- Ensure your preferences are set to allow all emails so that you are aware of changes.
