Integrated communities – Mid-Ontario Sites
The Integrated Communities Stream is an innovative program designed to prepare residents for comprehensive Family Medicine. It combines one year (PGY-1) of training in a Toronto community hospital teaching site Toronto East Health Network – Michael Garron Hospital (TEHN) or North York General Hospital (NYGH) with one year (PGY-2) of training in one of four mid-Ontario communities: Midland, Orillia, Port Perry and Orangeville

À votre avis, quels sont les points forts de votre programme?
The Integrated Communities Program is truly the best of both worlds. I liked starting in a block structure at a community site in Toronto where there were lots of opportunities to learn from different specialists and excellent family medicine teachers, but then switch to a smaller centre where you really get to tailor the learning experience to what you want and need. I also really appreciated being with a great group of residents throughout the first year, building relationships that then I keep (via long-distance) throughout the second year and beyond. I also love that I get to explore different communities and get a feel for where I might want to be long-term.
We are encouraged to identify our own learning goals, and then the site directors are very helpful to support and find opportunities for us so we are able to make the residency experience what we want it to be (within reason of course).
Everyone is very friendly within the program, for both years. Residents are always asking each other questions and advice about different rotations etc., and it is extremely collegial.
In Toronto I was part of a run club, and also enjoyed meeting up with friends for dinner and going away on some weekends to go camping or skiing. I also just got married so a good chunk of my time over the past year was spent wedding planning. In Midland, I’ve been loving living so close to the lake, and I’m excited to check out different trails and restaurants in the area.
Scheduling is fairly flexible (especially if you plan ahead, as well as for the second half of the program in the smaller community), which is very helpful to support wellness and planned personal activities. The site directors are also very approachable when it comes to discussing wellness concerns.
? I’m excited to explore what it is like to live in a smaller community, as well as further explore what family medicine can look like in this smaller community. I’m also looking forward to working towards my own independence as a family doctor.
