Inuvik Weblog: A Surgeon and a Gentleman

A Surgeon and a Gentleman

Over the last 5 or 6 years, Dr Soorya Basnyat (affectionately known as 'Bas') did a number of locums in Inuvik. Last Saturday staff and friends gathered to say good bye. In his speech Braam de Klerk called Bas 'the last of the dinosaurs' and admired him for his skills as general surgeon - he is one of a dying breed.

In reply, Bas (as usual) had many funny stories to tell. We'll miss you, Bas!

Inuvik Elective

As rural physicians and founding members of the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada we know that providing a truly rural elective will make students and residents aware of the rewards of being a rural physician in Canada. It will also make you aware of the great need for rural physicians. We have been rural preceptors for the last twenty years and have been officially affiliated with McGill University, the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia. Students and residents come from Canadian medical schools, as well as from medical schools in Europe, Argentina and New Zealand. Approximately 120 residents and more than 70 students rotated through our program over the last 20 years. Many of our students and residents return as locums or full-time physicians to Inuvik, many others go on to work in other rural areas in Canada and the world. This elective can be arranged by contacting the Medical Director's office. Link back to Elective FAQ Main Page Telephone: (867) 777 8108. E mail address:Inuvik_doctors@gov.nt.ca
