An innovative medical education program in Outaouais: integrated externship
The Outaouais Health Campus, 成人VR视频 and their
partners are happy to announce the inauguration of a new
decentralized predoctoral medical education program: integrated
externship. The first cohort, composed of nine students, arrived
this August to pursue their medical education. The program combines
clinical exposure, teaching and learning by clinical
reasoning.
The integrated externship program corresponds to the 3rd full year
of medical education and was designed to give students an
experience in the community. The physicians form nine medical
clinics, those of CSSS de Gatineau and Centre hospitalier
Pierre-Janet (CHPJ), provide teaching and medical supervision to
students throughout the integrated externship. The students can
also complete their 4th year of training in the region.
鈥淢edical students must be given the benefit of the rich experience
offered by the first and second-line medical environments,鈥 pointed
out Dr. Gilles Brousseau, Director of Medical Education at the
Outaouais Health Campus. 鈥淭he unflagging support of the
institutions and their staff assured the conditions for success to
start up this program in record time,鈥 Dr. Brousseau
concluded.
鈥淭he 成人VR视频 Faculty of Medicine is proud to collaborate
in the improvement of care in the Outaouais region and to implement
training that values family medicine and the primary care
specialties,鈥 declared Dr. Samuel Benaroya, Associate
Vice-Principal of Health Affairs of the 成人VR视频 Faculty
of Medicine.
鈥淎 teaching community in Outaouais undeniably is a mobilizing and
unifying project for all practitioners, and I am proud that today I
can recognize the results obtained in so little time due to the
synergy generated by the Outaouais Health Campus,鈥 added Dr.
Morissette, CEO of the Agence de sant茅 et des services sociaux de
l鈥橭utaouais.
During their externship, the students are integrated into the
clinical environments and can manage care and ensure its
continuity, while learning within their own clinic with an
established clientele.
