Family Medicine
Our goal is to produce competent, caring, full service family physicians with a passion for serving their community.
The Family Medicine residency is purposefully designed to expose residents to challenges and responsibilities that will help them become strong, well-rounded physicians. This includes providing 24hr overnight call, serving in a variety of acute and ambulatory clinical settings and delivering excellent patient care to a variety of patient populations.
Applicants to the program must apply through CaRMS. Please see the CaRMS website for guidelines and requirements.
The department offers Longitudinal Clinical Experience in family medicine in years 1 and 2 of medical school and family medicine clerkships in years 3 and 4, in urban and rural community settings, to consolidate knowledge learned in the first two years. Family medicine elective are also available.
