Our Role as a Family Medicine Teaching Unit

As an academic family health team associated with the Credit Valley Family Medicine Teaching Unit, we facilitate resident  and international medical graduate education in family practice. A resident is a University of Toronto post-graduate medical doctor who is completing a 2 year long specialty in family practice. International medical graduates are with the team for three years and have the advantage of sharing some of the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the Mississauga community. Both doctors are supervised by an experienced family physician and, alongside the resident, will review and advise on your case. Upon completion of their residency, residents are qualified to write their family medicine certification exam.
