Testimonials from our residents
The teaching I received at the La Pommeraie University Family Medicine Group (GMF-U) was full of humanity and flexibility, while maintaining a high level of rigor. This environment truly prepares us for the practice of medicine with all its art and uncertainties. I found that I was given significant autonomy, and support was always available.
The supervisors genuinely care about our success. There is a supportive atmosphere among the residents, and I have developed relationships that I will cherish for life!
The La Pommeraie University Family Medicine Group (GMF-U) is very advanced in bedside ultrasound. A "must" in 2025.
The teaching in musculoskeletal medicine and obstetrics is of high quality. The training in geriatrics is also very good. I have a great relationship with my academic mentor, and I feel comfortable confiding in her when needed.
Stimulating hospital exposure that prepared me well for independent practice.
Supervisors are highly involved in resident mentorship. They are attentive and responsive to the residents.
Stimulating hospital practice, great workspaces in the emergency department, not to mention the Estrie region and the Eastern Townships.
Amazing supervisors and nurses. We are seen as colleagues in their eyes, not just as students.
