Just a quick update today.
Currently, we are busy getting the details of our "toolbox month" sorted out and we are waiting with keen anticipation to find out who will be part of our first group of residents that will be joining us. One thing that I've learned over the past month is that I am not too good at playing the waiting game...
There's quite a snow storm in the area tonight. Be safe. Spring is just around the corner now!
Documenting the start of the new Queen's Family Medicine training site based in the Region of Durham and the hospitals of Lakeridge Health. Here, you will be able to find out about what we offer as a site in terms of curriculum, communities, and activities.

Happy Groundhog Day.
It's very hard to believe that it's already February. I'm not sure what the groundhogs will be predicting about winter later on this morning although with the winter we've had... is there a way they can predict -6 "more" weeks of winter?
What I think we can predict after finishing our four days of CaRMS interviews is that we are going to have some great learners matched to our program for our inaugural year! I know that all of us QBOL interviewers found these CaRMS interview days to be a very positive experience. In particular, it was quite heartening to see the amount of genuine interest in our site. We've been working hard to prepare the best learning experiences we can for our incoming QBOL FM residents and are really feeling energized now to push towards the finish line... or is that the start line ahead?
In addition, I'll share a link to our videotaped morning presentations in case you wanted to relive the drama of the information sessions. Otherwise, feel free to contact me and we would be happy to send you some of our materials (e.g. PDFs of the slide presentation or a copy of our Colourful Curriculum Calendar), get you in touch with some of our community contacts, or answer any further questions you might have.
It was truly a pleasure to have the chance to meet with so many great candidates, to hear about the variety of paths you've taken to FM, and to learn about the many strengths that you already have to share with us - not just us at the QBOL site, but as future colleagues in FM.
