The UBC CCFP-EM Program, based in Vancouver, Surrey, Nanaimo, Prince George and Kamloops, is a continuation of the CCFP Residency curriculum. Drawing on the invaluable patient-centric approach inherent to family medicine, this program aims to train family physicians in skills focused on emergency medicine.
All residents undertake clinical rotations at a variety of emergency departments to ensure high-quality exposure to emergency medicine in different settings. Outside of clinical rotations, the program offers a strong simulation program, cadaver lab, academic and research opportunities, mentorship and social events.
