TruCare Medical Center is proud to host University of Calgary's Faculty of Medicine Medical Students and Resident doctors at this clinic. Medical students are trained to take medical histories and perform certain physical examinations. The supervising doctor makes the diagnosis and decides on management with the medical student. Resident doctors see patients with less direct supervision (as they have graduated medical school). A resident doctor can diagnose and treat your condition, and will have a supervisor readily available. The supervising doctor is responsible to ensure that your problems are accurately addressed. You may be asked to see a Medical Student or Resident Doctor and we encourage you to allow them to facilitate us with your care.

If you do not want to see a student or resident doctor, please inform the staff or the student/resident and we accommodate your request for that visit.

For best possible health care for the patient, a strong doctor-patient relationship is needed. When this relationship becomes compromised it may be terminated. If this occurs, we will provide emergency medical care for one month or when the patient finds a new family doctor.

If our services are required outside the normal hours you will be requested to dial 811 (Health Link). As part of the Foothills PCN, patients of this clinic can avoid long waits at the emergency departments and have booked appointments at Clinic 365. Your doctor will get a copy of your consult with the physician at Clinic 365 the next day to insure continuity of care.
