Explore family medicine in one of the most diverse cities in Canada. Home to over 700,000 people who speak some 100 different languages, Winnipeg is a truly multicultural city. You’ll also experience four weeks of family medicine block time in rural Manitoba and eight weeks in a hospital medicine unit, helping you become a well-rounded family physician no matter where your future practice takes you.
A wide range of practice environments guarantees learning experiences alongside inter-professional faculty members such as dietitians, pharmacists and nurse practitioners. Five months of family medicine block time in your first year allows for continuity with a defined panel of patients. Simulation labs allow you to test your skills on manikins that simulate a variety of conditions, with readings and reactions that provide crucial feedback.
