Queen’s Bowmanville-Oshawa-Lakeridge Site (QBOL) was established in 2012 and is the youngest of the four teaching sites in the Department of Family Medicine. This site sits at a geographic “sweet spot” in southeast Ontario being about 1 hour of travel to Toronto to the west or cottage country to the east.
The innovative QBOL curriculum was designed from the ground up to be a competency-based “Triple C” site, centred on Family Medicine, Continuity, and Comprehensiveness.
At QBOL, your learning is always centred around your community Family Medicine clinic with complementary clinical experiences scheduled around that backbone in an integrated, horizontal manner. Our goal is to maximize the amount of learning you have with Family Medicine preceptors while also partnering with Lakeridge Health to provide hospital-based experiences.
The partnership with Lakeridge Health resulted in the opening of the LHEARN Centre at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. The LHEARN Centre is a regional medical education hub which houses QBOL administrative offices, meeting rooms which are used for academic teachings, a library, and a resident lounge.
