PROFESSIONAL
INTERESTS:Geriatric medicine
SETTING:Typical Family Practice setting in a small city of 25,000. Interest in Palliative Care and Dermatology.
Owen Sound is located on Georgian Bay, on the Bruce Trail, servicing a regional role to 150,000 people. Both summer and winter vacationers contribute to the hospital emergency experience. Family physicians remain as most responsible physician except in CCU/ICU/Surgery. There is a good specialty support for our role in general.
BROOKE MEDICAL GROUP (continued)
Most significant procedures are done through ambulatory care at the hospital (excisions, cast applications, flexible sigmoid). Three full time emergency physicians, two of who are former community family physicians and a declining number of community family physicians run an extremely busy emergency department. They have, to date, expressed an interest in allowing our residents an opportunity to work with them as time permits.
Excellent home care services and an active public health unit facilitate the family physician=s community role.
Most physicians have made a life style decision to avoid big city life and are active sailors, outdoor lovers and hobby farmers. Owen Sound offers many cultural activities such as community orchestra, renowned Little theatre, and summer folk festival.
We do not have established accommodation arrangements but will assist in obtaining rental facilities, although cottage property near town tends to be less available and more expensive in the summer months.

Doctors have an extensive involvement in patient work up and admissions plus ongoing hospital care.
There is a high volume of office patients of all age groups. Visits to the 2 Nursing Homes in Chesley are a regular part of practice activities. Excellent example of a group practice where physicians work well together.
