Effective this week, the Pembroke Family Medicine Teaching Unit is changing locations. Your family doctor could now be located in the newly-renovated 4th floor of Tower D at the Pembroke Regional Hospital. In addition to the move, this fall, two physicians will join the group – for a total complement of eight physicians, two physician assistants, six medical residents and visiting medical students, with additional capacity to allow for added growth in the future. Those patients affected by the move will also receive a notice in the mail.
“Pembroke’s Family Medicine Teaching Unit is a large teaching practice affiliated with the University of Ottawa focused on training family practice residents and medical students with the aim of setting them up for a future rural family practice,” said Dr. Richard Johnson, Lead Physician and Residency Program Director who was trained on the unit as a resident himself from 2012 to 2014.
