Community Faculty

What Community Education Can Teach Tomorrow's Doctors

 The University of Saskatchewan, College of Medicine's teaching and research endeavors relies heavily on the support of faculty members who live in communities throughout the province. As such, the College placed high priority on better utilization of community physicians. This page was created to enhance communication with physicians who teach in clinics and hospitals in Saskatchewan.
