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]

Visitors from Down Under

Two intrepid rural Australian physicians visited Inuvik recently to see how rural medicine is practised in the arctic. Professor Richard Murray is Dean of Medicine and Head of the School of Medicine and Dentistry at James Cook University (JCU). Dr. Sophie Couzos, his wife, is Professor of General Practice and Rural Medicine at the same university. Richard is currently President of ACCRM (the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine) one of two colleges in Australia responsible for setting and arbitrating standards for the medical specialty of general practice. Their programs particularly focus on the unique scope and depth of clinical skills, knowledge and values that are required by practitioners working in rural and remote contexts.

Although the cold temperatures and snow were new, the medical challenges and joys were very familiar.
