Here comes the sun!

On January 6th all Inuvikers gathered to welcome back the sun. Although it only appeared on the horizon for a few minutes on the first day, it was a very welcome sight after a month of no daylight.

As is the custom, the town's firefighters made a huge bonfire - very welcome because it was bitterrly cold

and put on a display of fireworks

One of the highlights of the year!

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
