coffeeplz Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Does anyone know if there is an expectation to be bilingual for doing a FM elective at Ottawa, or before applying for their family residency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an elective there in a different discipline, and French certainly isn't required as most of your patients will know how to speak English. Knowing French will be a bonus to your patients, but maybe not so much to your CaRMS application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methodnike Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Not a requirement but a huge plus. i have rotated in Ottawa back in Med school and a significant number of patients were French speaking. Of course, most are bilingual but they prefer to speak their mother tongue while seeing the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
