Department Spotlight: Dr. Stacey Valiquet
Dr. Stacey Valiquet is an Associate Professor in Family Medicine at Western University. After completing her residency in Family Medicine, she opted for an additional year of training in Emergency Medicine through the Department’s Enhanced Skills Program. While enjoying both disciplines, Dr.Valiquet ultimately returned to full time work in her true passion, Family Medicine, in 2005 when she began working as a clinical team leader at Victoria Family Medical Centre (VFMC). She has continued in this role to the present and was recently welcomed to the role of Centre Director in 2016. Working part-time in a job-shared practice at VFMC has allowed Dr.Valiquet to find work-life balance as she juggles the roles of physician and full time mother to three young sons.
Dr. Valiquet has played a significant role at the Centre in the transition to Same Day Access scheduling and in the chart audit program through her work on the Records and Quality Improvement Committee. She is an advocate for preventative care and health education, and actively involves herself in community initiatives.
Dr. Valiquet is committed to the students whom she is educating, and welcomes the opportunity to assist in shaping her learners into comprehensive physicians within this challenging discipline.
