Doctor Search Goes to High School


The search for more physicians for the Rainy River district has taken local officials to their own back yard.

The area's Physician Recruiter Jackie Lampi-Hughes says a Grow-a-Doctor seminar was held this week at Fort Frances High School for students thinking about a career in medicine.

Lampi-Hughes says they want to encourage those to consider returning to the community after completing their schooling.

The twenty-four students heard from Fort Frances Doctors Jason Shack and Cynthia Saliba about why they came to Fort Frances and what it takes to get into medical school.
