Features of our Rural – Hanover Program
The curriculum in Hanover is designed to prepare all residents to become confident and competent rural generalists who work in any setting throughout Canada.
In the first year there is a 16 week block of family medicine combined with off service rotations in areas that will provide extra skills for a rural practice. Many rotations are close to Hanover so that a commute from the home base is possibleand travel is minimized.
The second year is a longitudinal year spent mostly in Hanover with the opportunity for up to 12 weeks of elective time. The year is very flexible and tailored to the needs of the resident.
While in Hanover there is extensive exposure to the ER, OB, acute internal medicine (through in patient ward work), pediatrics and psychiatry. Our very skilled physicians provide more enrichment of the educational process through their own interests ie.: procedural sedation, dermatology, women's health, sports medicine and concussion, anaesthesia and palliative care.
