I have never heard anyone say they did not learn a lot during their time here. Our physicians work primarily in the Medical Clinic and Emergency, but several go to our Outreach Clinics in various Villages in the area. Our NP works 3 days a week in our Outreach Clinics in the Gitsegukla, Gitwangak, and Gitanyow Villages. He also works in our Clinic on the days he is not in one of the Villages. Our midwives work out of our Clinic much of the time but have hospital privileges in Smithers and Terrace as well.
