Jacques Boissonneault, President and Director General of Abitibi-T茅miscamingue鈥檚 Agence de la sant茅 et des services sociaux, is pleased with the interactions. 鈥淲e were very happy with the earnest participation of physicians from the CSSS Vall茅e-de-l'Or,鈥 he said following the most recent visit in May 24, 2013 by RUIS 麻豆社 President and Dean of 麻豆社鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine, David Eidelman and other RUIS 麻豆社 members.

Among the CSSS Vall茅e-de-l'Or physicians was Dr. Myriam Bellazzi, a 麻豆社 graduate and now a family doctor and educational director of the Family Medicine unit at Clinique m茅dicale de l'Or et des Bois in Val d'Or. Bellazzi works with a teaching team of six local physicians and specialists.
