Do you know someone in medical school? Is that someone in a residency program for family medicine? If so, this message is for you.

Dr. Joseph Foohey is one of the most respected family doctors to practice in the Upper Ottawa Valley. Dr. Foohey has practiced medicine for more than five decades, serving thousands of patients and becoming an extraordinary role model for new family doctors.

To recognize Dr. Foohey's commitment to the people of the Upper Ottawa Valley, the Upper Ottawa Valley Medical Recruitment Committee has established the Dr. Joseph Foohey Family Medicine Residency Bursary. The committee will award one $3,000 bursary to assist a doctor in a family medicine residency program with the cost of their educational expenses. While this bursary is open to all family medicine residents who are pursuing a career in family medicine, priority will be given to applicants who are planning to establish a family practice in one of the communities served by the Upper Ottawa Valley Medical Recruitment Committee: The City of Pembroke, the Town of Petawawa, the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation, the Township of Bonnechere Valley, the Township of Laurentian Valley, North Algona Wilberforce Township and the Township of Whitewater Region.
