Elderly



We are trying to develop an innovative program built in a “resident centred” way while also incorporating the latest competency based “Triple C” curriculum theories and the nine Queen’s Family Medicine Domains of Clinical Care (DOCCs).

We will emphasize direct observation with the goal of daily field notes and please remember, while we are offering a new program, many of our preceptors are already experienced teachers.

As an FYI, Queen's Family Medicine divides the calendar into 13 four week blocks of time per year.

Here is what we have planned for...

CARE OF THE ELDERLY

  • FM practices have full range of ages
  • LTC facilities - plan to centralize for each community, residents to be assigned their own set of patients
  • Hillsdale in Oshawa with FM preceptor on site and Strathaven in Bowmanville with NP on site and FM support
  • 2 half days / month
