It is situated in a scenic area of orchards and farmlands near Mount Brydges, Ontario. The population of the area provides a representative mixture typical of rural areas in Ontario. The ethnic diversity, as well as the stability of the practice population, provides a broad cultural and age range to challenge physicians who train at Southwest Middlesex Health Centre. The clinic provides dental service, a community pharmacy, and is equipped with casting, xray, laboratory and emergency treatment room facilities.
Physicians provide care to residents of a nursing home in nearby Komoka.
Training experience includes exposure to obstetric care and delivery as well as an opportunity to work emergency room shifts in Strathroy Hospital. The clinic is staffed by three physicians who are associated with the Department of Family Medicine at The University of Western Ontario. There is a strong emphasis on the team approach, with involvement of family practice nurses in patient care. Two of the teams at the centre are supported by residents. First Nations graduates, as well as all those interested in rural health care, would be welcomed at this centre.
