Excellent opportunity to assist at surgery informal rapport/teaching with consultants. Weekly clinical teaching rounds (except summer)
PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS: Geriatric medicine
SETTING: Typical Family Practice setting in a small city of 25,000. Interest in Palliative Care and Dermatology.
Owen Sound is located on Georgian Bay, on the Bruce Trail, servicing a regional role to 150,000 people. Both summer and winter vacationers contribute to the hospital emergency experience. Family physicians remain as most responsible physician except in CCU/ICU/Surgery. There is a good specialty support for our role in general.
BROOKE MEDICAL GROUP (continued)
Most significant procedures are done through ambulatory care at the hospital (excisions, cast applications, flexible sigmoid). Three full time emergency physicians, two of who are former community family physicians and a declining number of community family physicians run an extremely busy emergency department. They have, to date, expressed an interest in allowing our residents an opportunity to work with them as time permits.
Excellent home care services and an active public health unit facilitate the family physician=s community role.
Most physicians have made a life style decision to avoid big city life and are active sailors, outdoor lovers and hobby farmers. Owen Sound offers many cultural activities such as community orchestra, renowned Little theatre, and summer folk festival.
We do not have established accommodation arrangements but will assist in obtaining rental facilities, although cottage property near town tends to be less available and more expensive in the summer months.

All patient encounters are dictated (SOAP format) and stored electronically. Consultant notes, X-ray reports, etc. are scanned into the electronic record. Each chart has a very detailed cumulative patient patient profile (typed) which is continuously maintained current. All lab data downloads automatically by modem in to the electronic chart. Detailed searches can easily be done (ie, all men with a previous myocardial infarction who are not on entrophen or all diabetics who are on digoxin and a diuretic but not on a potassium supplement)
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF If the resident wishes to do procedures (ie. deliveries) or write orders in the hospital, THE RESIDENT: it is desirable to apply for temporary hospital privileges 3 months prior to the start of the rotation; the resident may choose to concentrate more in one area (ie, he/she may not want to do obstetrics or may choose to be first on call as often as desired); extra training can be arranged with a physiotherapist, athletic therapist, chiropractor, podiatrist, ER physician, etc., if desired
