The physician recruiter for Dryden, Ont. says his community has scored a hat trick as three medical residents have committed to serving as physicians there when they complete their residencies in the fall of 2025.
Drs. Alison Lewis and Skylar Arpin are currently second-year residents with Northern Ontario School of Medicine University. When they complete their training, they will become full-time physicians in Dryden, Ont.
"It's huge," Schmitt said. "It just validates all of the work that our staff and the physicians put into training these medical learners." Lewis grew up in Manitoba but frequently visited family in Dryden, she explained. She discovered while in medical school that she loved practising in rural communities. She chose Dryden in part so she could be close to family and in part because her husband liked the city.
The city also offered the doctors return-of-service agreements funded by the Dryden Regional Health Services Foundation, which provide financial support to medical residents in exchange for two years of service in the community after graduation.Lewis said the money wasn't the main factor in her decision to settle in Dryden, but Arpin said it contributed to hers.
