Rotations
In both the two-week and four-week Family Medicine rotations, students are requested to contact their assigned family medical centre / community physician prior to their rotation to arrange where and when to meet, and to make special arrangements if the starting date falls on a statutory holiday, or if the student’s one-week holiday time falls during the rotation. This is also your opportunity to clarify any on-call scheduling expectations that may fall on the first few days of your rotation.
4 week Community Rotation
The four-week community rotation (which will take place either prior to the two-week family medical centre portion or immediately following) will be spent with a community family physician in London, communities outside of London, ERMEP, NOSM, ROMP.
Please see
Community Sites page for a map of our community locations in London and rural sites as well as practice descriptions for each site.
For information on the ERMEP, NOSM and ROMP programs, please see contact information on side bar.
2 week Teaching Centre Rotation
The 2 week teaching centre rotation will be spent at one of our 4 teaching centres below. Each student will be assigned a specific preceptor.
Teaching Unit (London students only): Students will attend a half day session hosted by the staff at the Middlesex-London Health Unit. This session will give students an opportunity to review Public Health Principals, the role of the Medical Officer of Health and the services of the Health Unit. In addition, you will attend a session with a community partner of the health unit. These sessions may involve visits with various vulnerable populations. You are expected to attend the Teaching Health Unit Program on the first Wednesday (arriving promptly at 1:00 pm) of your 2 week rotation. You will be given more information regarding this once you arrive at the Family Medical Centre.
