This is a quick and easy way to help the program by allowing visiting and remote-teaching faculty to save time by building on up-to-date material.

Remote teaching

Many academic teaching sessions are done via Skype from right here in Ottawa! All that’s needed is a decent internet connection and a passion for teaching. We would love to add you to our roster of remote-teaching faculty - even one session per year is a great help. Interested? Please contact [email protected].

Host visiting residents

There are sometimes opportunities to host Guyanese residents visiting Ottawa as observers. Offer a pace to stay, help them with transportation, have them shadow you for a day or two, or just help them feel welcome with a meal or kind message.

Visit Guyana

The residents love to have clinical supervisors and faculty visit Guyana in person. Opportunities can be as short as one week, but for the full experience (and to get to work with all of the residents) we recommend at least two weeks. Physicians who volunteer to stay longer than three months will be paid a local Guyanese salary. Please contact [email protected] to find more details and to confirm your availability. You will be involved in supervising and teaching the residents, and will have an opportunity to visit some of what this beautiful country has to offer!

Residents can complete a one month Family Medicine elective in Guyana. Here you will have the opportunity to work in community health centres within the capital city, Georgetown, and various hospital rotations.
