Inuvik Elective

  • Jacelyn Susie
    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. Elective FAQ Telephone: (867) 777 8108. Email address:Inuvik_doctors@gov.nt.ca

Sink or Swim?

Crossing the Mackenzie river can be a scary undertaking in springtime when the ice bridge over the river starts to melt and before the ferry makes the crossing safe again. Victoria locum Jill Kelly took these pictures with her phone while trying to keep the car going, on a recent trip to the clinic in Tsiigehtchic, 120 kms south of Inuvik. Stories of her demise and swimming the Mackenzie river are greatly exaggerated, but she did have to use a paddle to reach the other side !!!!!!
