Guest amd20 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was wondering if anyone knows what opportunities UofT meds has for people interested in pursuing rural medicine in the future. I know UWO has discovery week and a rural training track. Does UofT have similar programs? thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UTMed07 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 One can do the year III family meds block thru ROMP (Rural Ontario Medial Program)-- in Orillia or Collingwood. Aside from that, there is the IgFM-- they host stuff (talks etc.) about rural family meds. Beyond that, there are electives. I know Campbellford's family medicine clinic is affiliated with U of T (was there for a summer elective)... and there are a few other places here. If you're thinking residency (that comes after medical school)-- they have a rural option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ollie Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 There are also some opportunities during preclerkship. During the summer after 1st and/or 2nd year, there is a Rural Medicine Week where students spend a week with a physician (and usually the physician billets the students in their home). I did rural week last year and it was great! There are also 4-week pre-clerkship electives through NOMP, ROMP, NOMEC and SWOMEN (sorry I'm too lazy to find links for all of these. You'll find them if you google them). A lot of my friends did this and had great experiences. The Rural Health Initiative group organizes info sessions about this throughout the year.
