Department of Family Medicine

Welcome to the Department of Family Medicine. We are the largest of 12 clinical departments within the Faculty of Medicine, with 675 faculty members, 120 of whom are primary preceptors who teach and mentor our 185 residents (Postgraduate Year 1 to Postgraduate Year 3: PGY1 to PGY3) in our Postgraduate training programs. Our department is supported by 45 administrative staff and numerous faculty members who fill key leadership roles. Our layered learning model provides comprehensive training in both official languages and ensures the success of our students at all levels in their learning journey – from being learners in our program to becoming confident family physicians.

Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence in Family Medicine

This year marks a significant milestone for the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa as we celebrate 50 years of advancing primary care in the Ottawa region. We are proud to reflect on all that we have accomplished as a department: we have built connections, strengthened our research capacity, and created a solid foundation for providing comprehensive training to our learners in both official languages. We look forward to celebrating what comes next in Family Medicine. For more information, please visit our DFM’s 50th Anniversary and our Faculty Retreat web pages.
