Welcome Dr. Amtul Ahmed!

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. Amtul Ahmed will be joining our team in Atikokan on August 11 and will be directly supervised and assessed by family physicians in our practice, as well as at the hospital, in the emergency department, long-term care and home care. We have 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. Ahmed 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.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Amtul Ahmed to Atikokan!
