1. Cultural and professional change of scenery: How working in northern Quebec will change you<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t truly grasp the reality of remote communities until you\u2019ve set foot there. In the south, in large cities, we are used to always having orderlies, doctors, respiratory therapists, and biochemistry services (blood analysis) available at all times. In the north, however, resourcefulness is very important and even essential.<\/p>\n

Since there are few different trades, working in northern Quebec brings a lot of diversity to the practice. We can provide prenatal care, vaccinations, initial assessments, air evacuations, polytrauma management, deliveries, and much more. This allows us to diversify our skill sets and maintain our expertise by practicing a wide variety of care.<\/p>\n

Did you know that north of the 50th<\/sup> parallel, there are no trees? Interestingly, last spring, I left Montreal where it was 28 degrees, heading to the Raglan Mine located in Kativik. Upon arrival, in a dense blizzard, it was -12 degrees. It is therefore possible to experience all four seasons in a single day! You definitely can\u2019t be afraid of the cold!<\/p>\n

We build unique relationships with our colleagues, allowing us to share great moments both at work and outside of working hours.<\/p>\n
