Gatineau U-FMG

With over 60 examination rooms, 2 procedure rooms, and specialized clinics in musculoskeletal injuries, gynecology, early childhood, and psychiatry, everything is in place to ensure the best possible training. The clinic’s 6 supervision rooms feature an integrated camera system, allowing learners to be monitored in real time as they work and learn. On the inpatient side, the teaching unit is fortunate to have a nurse clinician who works closely with the medical staff supervisors to deliver teaching focused on excellence and interprofessional collaboration. Staff are also involved in teaching-related improvement projects.

• Facilities: The Gatineau U-FMG features some sixty examination and supervision rooms, designed to optimize teaching. In addition, the McGill pavilion, located above the clinic, is an accessible environment for medical students and residents, offering state-of-the-art classrooms and a simulation centre.
• Technology and Resources: We have several pieces of equipment that optimize learning, including an ultrasound machine, Butterfly probe, digital otoscope, camera-equipped supervision rooms and the McGill simulation centre.

Training programs offered

• The McGill Outaouais campus, in collaboration with the U-FMG and the hospital-based Family Medicine Unit, offers a complete 4-year undergraduate medical program and a postgraduate residency program. At the undergraduate level, first-year students complete the Longitudinal Family Medicine Experience (LFME) at the Outaouais campus, as well as clinical observation rotations. In the second year, students complete the Transition to Clinical Practice (TCP) program, which combines studies and clinical internships in various settings. Third- and fourth-year students complete several clinical internships, also in various settings.

The U-FMG then offers up to 17 places per year for medical residents, in a dynamic clinic with 30 family physicians, a large team of professionals, and a rigorous and varied learning environment, both in terms of rotations (hospital, rural, specialized clinics) and stimulating teaching activities, integrating OSCEs, simulation, and more.

Types of learning experiences

• The U-FMG offers a number of specialized clinics, including minor procedures, MSK, gynecology, parent-child, and pre- and post-natal visits.
