Department of Family Medicine

As a new resident, you will receive an orientation to the program and to the associated teaching sites. As part of this process, you will complete a self-assessment questionnaire, which provides the basis for an initial education plan.

Residents are each assigned a primary preceptor at the start of their residency to serve as a faculty advisor. Throughout your two-year program, you will meet regularly to discuss your progress. You will have the opportunity to request a primary preceptor who is not directly responsible for your assessment.

All residents will have a documented education plan, which will be reviewed at least twice yearly. This will help ensure that you stay on track to achieving both short- and long-term learning goals.

Preparation is key to success. You are expected to prepare for each rotation by reviewing rotation objectives and in-training assessment reports (ITARs). These are available in Entrada.

You are encouraged to reflect on your clinical activities and to document your reflections on a twice-weekly basis using Resident Field Notes. These are for your use only and are not used in your assessment.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will lead and collaborate on research projects aimed at innovating primary care delivery, with the goal of improving care quality and outcomes for individuals and communities. They will expand the current research initiatives within the the department by participating in provincial, national, and international research funding competitions, while also providing mentorship and collaboration opportunities for trainees and new researchers pursuing careers in family medicine and primary care.

Position details

The Professorship is a three-year appointment, with the possibility of renewal for two additional three-year terms, subject to available funding and performance review. The department will facilitate a full-time position that combines the professorship with a primary care clinical placement if the applicant does not currently hold a clinical position. The successful candidate will report to the Head of the Department of Family Medicine and the Director of Research and Quality Improvement. The anticipated start date is September 4, 2023, or a mutually agreed-upon date.
