Some high praise for the Dauphin Medical Clinic.
Recently, they were presented with the 2024 Teaching Site of the Year award by the University of Manitoba's Department of Family Medicine during their annual Inspire DFM Awards.
The awards recognize staff, faculty, residents and teaching sites that elevate the Department of Family Medicine, improve healthcare, and help to train the next generation of family physicians.
The Clinic was nominated for the award by Dr. Chavi Tejpal, who is a postgraduate year 2 lead resident at the Parkland Family Medicine Residency Unit.
She said the residency program is the second oldest rural training program in Canada for family medicine, and thanks to those strong roots and training, it provides more than academic opportunities for its residents.
She added the program fosters a culture of collaboration and support among inter-professionals, providing residents with invaluable opportunities for interdisciplinary learning to enhance patient care.
