What’s in this collection

Family medicine, and every place the program’s location names is an under-served rural or remote community under the current federal definition.

We matched the place each family medicine program names to the federal list of under-served rural and remote communities, below. It is our match, not a CaRMS category. A program with several places is in only when every one is on the list.

Family medicine here may qualify for up to $60,000 of Canada Student Loan forgiveness. Eligibility depends on the postal code of where you work, and a resident can train in places other than the one the program names, so a program not in this collection may still have sites that qualify. Check the official postal-code lookup (opens in a new tab).
