medafter30 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi guys, I am an Ontario student studying at McGill Med. I am looking for a placement in rural family medicine rotation (4 weeks) in Ontario in the month of June 2018. I personally do not have any connection and have no idea where to start... Anybody can help me out? either with their previous rural FM preceptor or a way to ask for a preceptor? My school's criteria for rural FM is <90,000 in population and 50km + away from a teaching hospital site Thanks so much everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeisawesome Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I highly recommend Muskoka! It is about 2 hours north of the GTA and is < 90,000 population. I believe they are affiliated with NOSM. Beautiful area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheeler Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Look into ROMP (rural ontario medical program). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover_236 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 You can also look into ERMEP (this one covers eastern ON sites so will be closer Ottawa/Montreal). Lots of sites and preceptors to choose from depending on your interests and the program will cover almost all of your costs (accommodations, car) so little out of pocket expenses.

katakari Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Check out places near the water. I went to Thornbury/Meaford and was able to walk right up to the Georgian Bay from my clinic every lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
