The Family Medicine Teaching Unit (FMTU) is a joint partnership between Trillium Health Partners and the Summerville Family Health Team. The FMTU was established to play a more active role in the education of future family doctors and to increase access to health care for our community; through the FMTU we will share knowledge and enhance our skill set and expertise.
Family Medicine Resident Doctors (Residents) are fully trained, newly licensed doctors who are completing their specialized post-graduate training in family medicine. Each Resident manages his or her own practice of patients under the supervision of the Summerville Family Health Team. Residents care for adults, seniors and children with a variety of chronic and acute illnesses. As a patient of the FMTU, you will have access to nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, dietitians, a physiotherapist, pharmacists and health promotion specialists.
