TIMMINS
University of Toronto

Beside seeing patients, I had a rare and invaluable opportunity to sit in on a meeting with the head of Mental Health Services. Through this I was able to gather information on the Mental Health Care Systems in the North and especially in Timmins. I would recommend an elective in Timmins to all residents interested in exploring life and career opportunities in the North.~ Dr. Claire De Souza, PGY3
