Inuvik Weblog: Sea To Sea To Sea

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]

Leanne Goose, Inuvik's physician recruiter, performed in the Empress Hotel at the 21st Annual Rural and Remote Medicine Course of the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC) held in Victoria, BC, April 4 - 6, 2013.

The conference was attended by close to 900 rural physicians, residents and students. It was good to meet many previous locums, as well as those who are interested in coming to Inuvik in the future.

Here is Leanne with Lee Teperman, SRPC Administrative Officer and Braam de Klerk, SRPC President.
