COVID-19 Residency Program Update: Residents and preceptors should contact the FM office (fmpgc@schulich.uwo.ca) regarding any leaves due to exposure or symptoms to COVID-19. We are required to report these leaves to the central PGME office. Residents should also contact us if they have upcoming plans to travel outside of the country. A formalized leave that will extend a residency end date may need to be taken to accommodate any travel plans.
Teaching resources: There are a number of resources for supervising residents on the CFPC website. Please take a look at the following link for information on supervising learners during virtual visits: Click here.
