To meet the growing demand for more innovative teaching in primary care medicine and simultaneously to improve the overall quality of family practice, McGill University and The Montreal General Hospital, with the cooperation of the McGill School of Nursing, have inaugurated a faculty development center offering a program for advanced studies in primary care medicine and nursing. This program is offered to physicians and nurses who are already members of, or plan to join, a university faculty to teach primary care medicine. The program is diverse and interdisciplinary. Advanced courses are offered in teaching methods, investigative principles, biomedical communication, and management. In addition, each student Fellow participates in academic activities in fields of education, clinical practice, research, and community health care. All Fellows and faculty of the center rotate periodically to several satellite community-based teaching practice units in urban and rural areas of Quebec and to a region of northern New Brunswick. This activity enriches the medical manpower of the various regions, and the urgan physicians acquire an increased awareness of the particular problems and challenges of practicing medicine where full hospital and laboratory services are not always available.
为满足对初级保健医学更具创新性教学日益增长的需求，并同时提高家庭医疗的整体质量，麦吉尔大学和蒙特利尔总医院在麦吉尔护理学院的合作下，设立了一个教师发展中心，提供初级保健医学和护理高级研究项目。该项目面向已经是或计划加入大学教师队伍以教授初级保健医学的医生和护士。该项目内容多样且跨学科。提供教学方法、研究原则、生物医学交流和管理等高级课程。此外，每位学员还参与教育、临床实践、研究和社区医疗保健等领域的学术活动。该中心的所有学员和教师会定期轮换到魁北克城乡地区的几个卫星社区教学实践单位以及新不伦瑞克省北部的一个地区。这一活动丰富了各地区的医疗人力，城市医生也更加了解在并非总能获得完整医院和实验室服务的地方行医所面临的特殊问题和挑战。
