For Anglophone Students • Basis of Medicine and all formal courses are conducted in English • Many patients are primarily French-speaking • You may be assigned to hospitals where the language of work is French (e.g. Douglas, LaSalle, Gatineau) • You will be expected to be functional in French by the beginning of your clerkship • Saturday morning workshops are available for medical French – see your orientation package or UGME website

  39. Physicianship • The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated. ~ Plato

  40.
