Resident Doctor Program:

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.

 What to Expect During a Visit:

Visiting a Resident doctor is exactly the same as any other clinic. Patients  are asked to book a scheduled appointment prior to your visit.

All patients are required to provide their Care Card and Status Number before seeing the doctor. Services available, if necessary include, but are not limited to the following:                                

  • Lab/X-ray/CT/Ultrasound requisitions

Residents are able to do home-visits for patients that may have mobility issues or pregnant women residing in Campbell River from the Northern Bands during the last weeks of pregnancy.  They are happy to visit clients and come prepared with a fully stocked medical bag and paperwork that may be required.
