In the community setting, there are a variety of practice types and styles, including: solo practices, group practices and Community Health Centres. In settings where there are multiple physicians, one physician will be paired with you as the primary preceptor at the site yet you may have the opportunity to work with other physicians. All of our primary preceptors in the community hold a faculty appointment with the Department of Family Medicine, University of Ottawa.
Some primary preceptors have one resident in their practice, others two. In practices where there are two residents, it’s a combination of first and second year residents. Each resident we assign to a community practice will stay at the practice throughout their two years of residency.
In a community practice, you have a one-on-one relationship with your preceptor and are able to observe a role model whose practice setting and responsibilities can be quite different from an academic unit-based practice. In addition, you learn the business side of running a community-based practice.
