The Charles-Le Moyne U-FMG is also a Family Medicine Unit, affiliated with the Université de Sherbrooke and its main objective is to train family physicians with the skills necessary (knowledge, abilities, attitudes) for a first line practice.

What is an FMG?

A family medicine group (FMG) is a group of family physicians who work in close collaboration with other health professionals. This organization of work allows clients to have easier access to medical care.

Each physician takes care of his own patients, who are registered with him. On the other hand, all physicians who are members of the FMG have access to all the medical records. In this way, a person who reports for an emergency consultation may be seen by a physician other than his own. If necessary they may also meet with a nurse or other health professional from the FMG for various follow-ups. This group approach allows:

  • A better follow-up of the patients' state of health and medical records;
  • The quality of medical care to be improved.
  • Improved access to medical care.

 

What is an U-FMG?

The University Family Medicine Group (U-FMG) is a family medicine clinic the priority of which is training residents in family medicine within a first-line care context and research in this discipline. It also contributes to training doctor of medicine students and other health and social service disciplines. In addition to its teaching and research vocation, it offers medical care and services to a varied clientele.
