BenefitsThe Alberta Rural Family Medicine Network provides residents with an opportunity to train in the environment where they will eventually practice, to be taught largely by practicing rural faculty supported by full-time academic faculty, and to take advantage of the resources of both Alberta Faculties of Medicine networked together.
The program offers a more personal, preceptor-based learning experience than can be offered through traditional tertiary-based programs. Residents will be exposed to an intense clinical experience that maximizes procedural skill acquisition and early and effective patient management.
Equally importantly, Rural Alberta North and Rural Alberta South, the two Nodes of the ARFMN, build upon a decade of RPAP-funded rural undergraduate, Family Medicine and specialty training blocks and Additional Skills training offered through the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary.
