Toronto Family Medicine Electives (Year 4)

[dynomedasaur]

Just wondering if any current clinical clerks (MSI3-4's) could provide insight into the following FM electives:

1 - Family Medicine - Health of the Homeless (Family Medicine / Health of the Homeless)

2 - Family Medicine - Inner City Health (Family Medicine / Inner City Health)
 

Both elective locations have not been listed yet so I'm not sure what kind of facilities I'll be working in. I was also curious to see if the preceptors will be present long enough to observe my clinical ability and provide reference letters at the end of the rotation?

There isn't a location because you'll be rotating through the various inner city health associates' sites. If I had to put down one location, probably St. Michaels hospital. These are also 3-4 week electives so you'll definitely have enough time with the preceptors. These electives are quite competitive, taking 1 student each block so if you can't get it, try doing a FM rotation at St. Michaels instead, you'll likewise see an inner city demographic as well
