Input from rural physicians is being sought for SFU’s new medical school.  The consultation has already got underway, with members of the Network of Rural Divisions group underscoring the importance of placing medical students in rural communities during a recent meeting of the network with the interim dean and vice-dean of the new school, Drs Roger and Sarah Strasser.  

Four physicians have been honoured with the Award of Excellence in Rural Medicine – Lifetime Achievement for their decades of dedicated service in BC’s rural communities. From on-the-ground care to provincial leadership, each recipient has helped shape what rural healthcare looks like today.
