Twenty six U of A medical students spent a weekend in the fall in the beautiful Peace River Valley being educated and royally entertained by the local staff and physicians there. After a full day of skills, everyone attended a BBQ and horseback riding at a ranch in the valley. Next year tour and skills day is planned for St Paul, again in September.
Fifty U of C medical students spent a day in April in Drumheller – hosted and taught skills by the hospital staff, EMS staff and physicians there. Excitement for the day was provided by not only practicing deliveries but also the attendance of two students at a real birth! Everyone finished the day with a visit to the Royal Tyrell Museum.
Rural tours and skills days are sponsored by the Alberta Rural Physician Action Plan (RPAP) in conjunction with local physicians and communities.
