In both the FM Core and FM Plus rotations, students need to contact their assigned family medical centre / community physician prior to their rotation to arrange where and when to meet, and to make special arrangements if the starting date falls on a statutory holiday, or if the student’s one-week holiday time falls during the rotation. This is also your opportunity to clarify any on-call scheduling expectations that may fall on the first few days of your rotation.

Students should contact their preceptors and accommodation providers at least 2 weeks before the start of their rotation.
