Residency Programs Indigenous Community Electives & Placements

Thank you to our partners at Resident Doctors of Canada for compiling a comprehensive document on Family Medicine Residency programs, which includes:

• Program locations
• Programs that serve Indigenous communities
• Electives or clinical blocks in Indigenous settings
• Annual residency spots, including reserved spots for Indigenous residents

We’ve condensed the document to highlight programs that serve Indigenous communities and offer Indigenous-focused training opportunities.
