Durham Region, ON - Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 and Lakeridge Health are excited to announce an innovative and first-of-its-kind-in-Canada education and training approach that will help to address the ongoing physician shortage in many southeastern Ontario communities, including Durham Region.  Many Ontarians are unable to find family doctors in their own communities and are forced to travel to other regions for care. This gap in access to primary care remains an important issue for many communities. 

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션�s School of Medicine has partnered with Lakeridge Health for many years, creating a satellite campus to train future physicians. Building on this longstanding partnership, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 and Lakeridge Health are poised to help address the primary care physician shortage in southeastern Ontario by taking a novel approach to medical education, seamlessly integrating the training of medical students and residents, which are currently separate programs. This new model is designed to graduate practice-ready, community-focused physicians.

As part of the province카지노 게임 컬렉션�s announcement in March that it will expand medical school seats across Ontario, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s-Lakeridge Health collaboration for health sciences education will begin offering 20 new medical school seats as early as 2023 at the Lakeridge Health satellite campus. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 students will undergo classroom training at Lakeridge Health and engage in workplace experiences embedded in communities across the region. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s-Lakeridge Health collaboration represents an opportunity to do things fundamentally differently,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Tony Sanfilippo, Senior Advisor, Educational Expansion and Innovation for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Health Sciences. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We will leverage this expansion to develop a unique innovative approach to integrated medical education that could not be done without strong community partners like Lakeridge Health and others. Ultimately, this will promote community care and begin to address the dire need for comprehensive primary care physicians in the region.카지노 게임 컬렉션� 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We카지노 게임 컬렉션�re thrilled to partner with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 on this innovative and first-of-its-kind-in-Canada education and training approach,카지노 게임 컬렉션� said Cynthia Davis, President and CEO, Lakeridge Health. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This program will help address the chronic physician shortage experienced in many Durham Region communities, while creating healthier populations.

The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s-Lakeridge Health collaboration will establish a new mechanism for admissions that prioritizes candidates who are committed to comprehensive general practice. This new approach will consider the fit between future physicians and the communities across southeastern Ontario where they will learn and ultimately work. Likewise, the program카지노 게임 컬렉션�s curriculum will be customized to ensure that these future physicians develop the competencies and skills that are most needed in the region카지노 게임 컬렉션�s communities. The integration of classroom and workplace learning, facilitated through Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and Lakeridge Health카지노 게임 컬렉션�s multiple regional partners, will give students the opportunity to truly engage with the communities where they will live and work, from day one.
