The first �out of the province� tour for 2003 is scheduled for Feb. 18. Dr. Raymond Legault, co-chair of the task force, said Monday they need three to four family physicians and some specialists. He declined to comment, at this time, on what specialists the community needs. Legault said a lot of people from Ontario and other provinces as well as people from the United States will be in Montreal next month to recruit doctors. �In the past, our trip to Montreal has been quite successful,� he said. �We have attracted one or two physicians from Quebec.� Legault hinted many Quebec physicians are currently contemplating to move out of the province. The recruitment tour of Montreal is in addition to the annual trip the task force regularly makes to Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto, London and Hamilton. Funding for the tour comes from the Mayor�s Task Force on Medical Recruitment and partly from Ontario�s Health and Long-Term Care Ministry. Legault said it is not unusual for them to get calls from physicians in the Montreal area sometimes months after the recruitment tour. Meanwhile, Dr. Nasser Beshara from Ottawa is helping with obstetrics and gynecology in Cornwall. Legault said another physician, Dr. Victoria Young from Newfoundland is setting up a walk-in clinic in the city. This year, the task force is armed with an exciting new development which will eventually provide all acute care from a single site. The recruits will be told about the new hospital restructuring plan for Cornwall. The proposal, from the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph (RHSJ) Health Centre of Cornwall, calls for transfer of ownership of the McConnell Avenue property to the yet-to-be-formed community corporation. The proposal also includes continuing provision of long-term care and chronic care in a redeveloped St. Joseph�s Villa on York Street. The task force covers travelling expenses for doctors coming to look at Cornwall, as well as moving expenses for the doctors who decide to locate in the city. A number of other Ontario cities have the same type of task forces in place. Paul Fitzpatrick, the city�s manager of economic development, said the city set aside $250,000 in the 1999-2000 budget for medical recruitment. Part of this money was used to set up the Family Group Medical Practice at the Time Square. Physicians locating to the community are provided rent-free space as an incentive. Fitzpatrick said the city still has $80,000 left in the budget for medical recruitment. The Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph Health Centre of Cornwall and the Cornwall General Hospital are partners in this joint venture, picking up some of the rental expenses for the medical group practice. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca --- URG-L Pour quitter URG-L, envoyez un message a la liste ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) avec, COMME SUJET, le mot REMOVE (rien d'autre).
