Surrey-North Delta Division of Family Practice

Externships

The Surrey-North Delta Division of Family Practice has been communicating with a group of highly motivated and talented senior year Canadian medical students and recent graduates who are very interested in returning to Surrey-North Delta to join or assume a family practice after completion of their training.  This presents an exciting opportunity for experienced local physicians to share their expertise and energize their practice by being a Preceptor for a minimum of 2 weeks at a mutually agreed upon time. If you are interested, the Division will work with you and the student to ensure the necessary requirements and deadlines are met.
