HISTORY

In 1971, the Hunt Commission, originally convened to examine concerns around the issue of hospital admitting privileges. The commission recommended that the University of Manitoba and other interested bodies actively pursue the creation of a postgraduate training program in Family Medicine. Dr. Claude Murphy and Dr. Gary Beazley accepted the challenge of developing a Department of Family Practice at St. Boniface General Hospital including a residency program. The University of Manitoba Faculty of Medicine approved the residency training program the following year with the first residents entering the program in 1973.
