Our Residents
The residents are doctors who have obtained a medical degree, but are still completing a two-year training program in order to become a fully licensed family doctor. They are always supervised by an experienced doctor. Residents manage a practice of patients, and provide urgent coverage for other FMTU resident doctors.
