The UBC Strathcona Family Medicine Residency Program offers a First Nation Cultural component for new doctors & KDC Health is excited to be a “host family” with this project.
The key function is to bridge the gaps for First Nation people through a collaborate partnerships to educate and support medical doctors while they navigate and understand aspects of First Nation Health.
We have all faced challenges related to the medical system. This is a proactive approach for a better future.
Through this program we have the ability to work with resident physicians and advocate for a better medical system for all Nations.
Resident Physicians are medical students in their final 24 months of learning before they become independent physicians. All residents are supervised by a local doctor.
This program has now expanded to Cape Mudge & Quinsam.
Through this partnership, KDC Health staff is committed to improving access to pharmacy services, medical equipment and supply options, hospital admission and discharge procedures as well as build relationships and other medical resources to improve patient care.
