Doctor Capacity at the Hub
We often receive questions about whether we can hire more doctors to join our team. In Quebec, it’s not as simple as just "hiring doctors". The government sets specific obligations for how much a doctor has to work, and how many patients they must see in order to continue working in the province. As of now, time spent working at university clinics isn’t counted towards meeting those requirements.
This means that doctors working at the Hub are signing up to work extra hours above and beyond their Ministry requirements.
It can be hard to find doctors willing and able to put in these extra hours at Â鶹AV. We know that more doctors would help improve access, and we continually recruit additional doctors. Our GP’s - as well as our other medical and mental health professionals - make a difference in our students’ lives and are an integral part of our team.
Part of our role at the Student Wellness Hub is to connect you with community resources to help you access the care you need.
