The team here at the Atikokan Medical Clinic is thrilled to continue serving as a Practice Ready Ontario clinical field assessment site.

Practice Ready Ontario is the Government of Ontario’s new program for internationally trained family physicians who already have clinical practice experience. It is part of the plan to expand the health care workforce and connect people to care in high need, rural communities like ours.

Dr. Babatude Fatoki will be joining our team in Atikokan on February 2, 2026 and will be directly supervised and assessed by family physicians in clinic, as well as at the hospital, in the emergency department, long-term care and home care.

Dr. Fatoki’s medical training and experience began in Nigeria, but he has been working in Canadian healthcare systems since immigrating 6 years ago. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, watching soccer and tennis, exploring outdoor activities and spending quality time with his family.

The Atikokan Medical Clinic has always been proud to foster a learning environment for the next wave of medical professionals. It is our hope that you will show the same warm reception and respect to Dr. Fatoki that is shown to our regular physicians.

As always, any questions about the program can be answered by clinic staff by calling 807-597-2721.

Hello Atikokan!

Please join us in extending the warmest of welcomes to Dr. Michelle Ebere, the newest family physician to join us at the Atikokan Medical Clinic!

Dr. Ebere’s medical training and experience began in Nigeria. She migrated to Canada 6 years ago and has most recently been immersed in the the healthcare sector in Edmonton, Alberta.

Dr. Ebere is equally as excited as we are to join the team and is looking forward to providing compassionate, patient-centred care to the people of Atikokan. Above all, she values building trusting, long-term relationships with her patients and their families.

Outside of work, Dr. Ebere prioritizes spending time with her family and engaging in outdoor and community activities.

We are thrilled that she has decided that Atikokan was the right community for her and her family and are looking forward to all the benefits that she will bring to our overall health care team.
