Directors’ Message

Hello and Welcome to UBC’s Family Medicine CaRMS Pages!

Family Medicine training in BC presents you with many great opportunities. We have 20 training programs, each one providing a solid foundation in the knowledge and clinical skills of Family Medicine; but each site goes beyond, offering special opportunities to gain experience and skills in particular areas. Northern and Rural Family Medicine, Indigenous, Regional, and Urban Family Medicine all provide unique training. Some programs are for International Medical Graduates. These programs have a collaborative curriculum to support International graduates in their transition to the Canadian health care system.

Our program offers training in the setting that best suits you, depending on where you expect to practice. Ours is a faculty committed to strong and effective Family Medicine, taught and modeled by excellent, experienced, award-winning Family Doctors. In these pages you will find the details on training in BC that you are looking for. If you have further questions you are welcome to contact us by email, phone, or attend our Open House sessions for more information.

We look forward to welcoming you to our program.
