From “Program highlights” on the CaRMS page
- This two-year family medicine tandem program splits training equally between the Gaspé GMF-U and the Saint-François d'Assise GMF-U in Québec City.
- Training starts with a foundation transition period in Gaspé, after which three-month blocks alternate between the two sites in an integrated, longitudinal curriculum.
- Residents have 16 elective weeks, with housing provided and travel reimbursed for Gaspé blocks.
Based on what the program says about itself.
- You’re open to training at sites across a region, not at one hospital.

After residency
Family doctors in Quebec are paid fee-for-service today. A new model, which pays for enrolled patients, visits and hours worked, is agreed but not in force yet. Every family doctor in the public plan needs a compliance notice (avis de conformité) for a territory in the medical-staffing plan (PTEM, formerly PREM), or a waiver that stands in for it.
