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:[email protected]

Please Sponsor Sue Clarkson

Everybody who has worked in the Inuvik Regional Hospital will remember Sue Clarkson, our team leader in Acute Care. In April 2009 Sue was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma. While she's still feeling well, Sue and her friend, Debbie MacDonald, decided to participate in the Nike Woman's Marathon & 1/2 Marathon on Oct 18th in San Francisco as a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s Team In Training to help others with blood cancers.

Her training went very well and Sue running became a familiar sight in Inuvik.

Sue

Sue writes:

"With one month left before the marathon, I realized a valuable lesson . I have been training consistently and enjoying all of the hard work and gains...until I developed a stress fracture in my right leg 3 weeks ago. As a result, I have had to let go of my personal goal to complete the marathon in 4 and a half hours. I initially was very disappointed, but have since got over myself. I reflected on the reason that I wanted to do the marathon in the beginning - to raise money and awareness for this cancer I have and the many others that do not have an option to run a marathon. I am grateful that I can participate and will complete the full marathon in just the right amount of time. "

We're sure that Sue will finish gracefully! You can support Sue by going to her website
