University of Toronto
The staff was very welcoming and appreciative of the extra help in seeing new patients. They had arranged a room for me to work in and provided my own folder with my schedule and referral letters on the new patients. I saw a new patient each morning and afternoon, leaving lots of time to spend with the patient and to dictate a consultation note. I would recommend a visit to this area, for the resort, the landscape and for the educational experience~ . Dr. Stephen Baxter, PGY2
