The Lethbridge and Medicine Hat Rural Family Medicine Program will each be accepting 7 CMG positions in the 2022 selection cycle. In addition, 2 Family Medicine MOTP positions will be based out of Lethbridge. CaRMS 2022 will be conducted by a virtual format.

Please stay tuned to this website and CANPREPP’s National Web Calendar of Events for upcoming Meet and Greet sessions planned for November, December, and January.

At these sessions, Applicants will be provided with information about the Program, as well as have an opportunity to meet current residents in the program and the leadership team. We look forward to meeting you!

Practicing as a family physician in rural medicine provides you with a lifelong opportunity for learning and growth.  You get the opportunity to build close relationships with patients over a long period of time.  You may even get the opportunity to deliver the children of the infant you delivered years prior.  In addition living in a rural community typically results in a lower cost of living.
