Features of our Stratford Program
The curriculum in Stratford is designed to prepare residents for comprehensive family practice in a rural/semi-urban setting. It takes advantage of the robust resources at Stratford General Hospital to provide a large array of training opportunities.
The first year aims to develop solid foundations in various areas of medicine and surgery while providing a solid experience in family medicine. The second year builds on this by placing the resident in the family practice the majority of the time so to facilitate continuity of care and experience being a family physician for a group of patients. It is then complimented by elective blocks to allow the resident to further refine his/her training.
