Inuvik Weblog: All the way from New Zealand!

All the way from New Zealand!

Medical student, Christopher Tregonning, came all the way from Auckland, New Zealand, to do an elective in Inuvik. Chris is the third NZ medical student to do an elective at our hospital - our fame must be spreading! While here, he managed to visit some of the communities and see a few of the sights. Like most winter visitors, he enjoyed dog sledding and skidooing - and then he left, before the REAL cold!

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
