Modelling family medicine
As part of a growing partnership between Schulich Medicine & Dentistry and Nanjing Medical University, the Department of Family Medicine hosted Drs. Yayun Wang and Lingxia Wu, delegates from Nanjing Medical University, with the aim of helping solve the challenging task of filling an immense gap of primary care physicians in China.
Using Schulich Medicine & Dentistry’s renowned Family Medicine program as a model, Drs. Wang and Wu spent three months gaining first-hand knowledge on how to set up effective family medicine training programs at home by shadowing physicians, observing postgraduate family medicine teaching, and participating in departmental meetings.
