The undergraduate program at the McGill Department of Family Medicine supports the discipline of Family Medicine in the curriculum of McGill’s Faculty of Medicine. Its two key goals are:
- To instill in students the concept of patient-centered care relevant to all graduates regardless of career choice.
- To promote family medicine as an academic discipline and a career option among medical students.
Rural and urban experiences are available. Electives exist in palliative care, maternal and child health, methadone maintenance, ward medicine, adolescent medicine, and research.
