Ã山ǿ¼é

History of the Campus

For the past thirty years, Ã山ǿ¼é, the CISSS de l’Outaouais and the CISSS’ predecessors have worked together to help improve the regions’ health care capacity. Offering students and young physicians the opportunity to study medicine and complete their residency training in Outaouais encourages them to set down roots and establish their medical practice in the region.

At a glance:

  • 1988: Ã山ǿ¼é and the region’s health authority (today the CISSS de l’Outaouais) start training Ã山ǿ¼é residents.
  • 1988: The Gatineau Family Medicine Unit, now a University Family Medicine Group, opens.
  • 2003: The Ministry of Health and Social Services establishes the réseaux universitaires intégrés de santé (RUIS) which further strengthens Ã山ǿ¼é’s ties to the region. The mandate of the Ã山ǿ¼é RUIS is to help facilitate access to health care, teaching and research in designated areas of Quebec. The Ã山ǿ¼é RUIS includes the Outaouais region, as well as several others regions from the Montérégie to Nunavik.
  • 2010: Ã山ǿ¼é medical students start doing clerkships in the Outaouais region.
  • 2020: Opening of the Campus Outaouais, allowing students to complete Ã山ǿ¼é’s four-year undergraduate medical education program (MDCM), as well as their residency, in French, in Outaouais.
