69ÈÈÊÓƵ

History of the Campus

For the past thirty years, 69ÈÈÊÓƵ, 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: 69ÈÈÊÓƵ and the region’s health authority (today the CISSS de l’Outaouais) start training 69ÈÈÊÓƵ residents.

The mandate of the 69ÈÈÊÓƵ RUIS is to help facilitate access to health care, teaching and research in designated areas of Quebec. The 69ÈÈÊÓƵ RUIS includes the Outaouais region, as well as several others regions from the Montérégie to Nunavik.
