Program Overview

Our Family Medicine Residency Plan is a networked programme that strives to develop well-rounded family doctors.

We take family medicine attending physicians who practise obstetrics, and one who has a CAQ in sports medicine. Every bit the clinical experiences of our resident physicians expand, our section chair has made information technology a priority to expand the resources available to them.

These experiences take been supplemented by a redesign of our residency education series, which now includes longitudinal didactic sessions on behavioral health, health disparities, sports medicine, point-of-care ultrasound (including musculoskeletal ultrasound), procedures, and show-based medicine/critical appraisal of medical literature.
