The Department of Family Medicine’s Global Health Program encourages our faculty and residents to bring their expertise in caring for people of all ages, cultures and circumstances to those who need it most. We work with underserviced communities in Ottawa, Canada’s far north and abroad.

We offer a number of ways for our residents to gain Global Health experience, including:
