Finding a Family Physician or Specialist
The Doctor Search tools provided by provincial Colleges of Physicians & Surgeons are perhaps the most
direct method for finding family physicians currently accepting new patients, but not all such Colleges offer this service. Other
very good options may be available. Some provinces (Manitoba, Québec, PEI, and Newfoundland - for the St. John's area), for example,
have programs to connect patients with family physicians accepting new patients.
Different strategies are being developed to address the need in each province. In Ontario, we see Family Health Teams
and Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinics; Health Care Connect is a new service that helps people find physicians and nurse practitioners who
are accepting new patients in their community. Québec has Groupes de médecine de famille, Community Service Centres (CLSC),
and there is an increasing focus on the provision of nurse practitioners. Other provinces work through Regional Health
Authorities, delivering a complex array of services. In addition, for non-urgent medical problems, the majority of provinces
provide a bilingual tele-health service (24 x 7 x 365), staffed by Registered Nurses who provide answers, advice, and
recommendations.
Walk-in Clinics are found in many local communities and, as some physicians build their practices at these
acute-care facilities, they are accepting new patients for the longer term. Information pertaining to your
local area is readily found through online search, or through your regional health authority.
Finding a Naturopath
Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are most easily located by using the "Find A Naturopathic Doctor" search provided by the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND).
This enables you to search by First Name, Last Name, City, Province, and Postal Code.
If you're looking for a list of NDs in your area, it's often easiest to Search by Province.
If you don't know what a Naturopathic Doctor is, you can read about their training here.
Provincial CAND links, showing which provinces regulate NDs, are presented here.
For a list of NDs in Ottawa, see Ottawa Walk-in Clinics. | |

Find a Family Physician
Use this search feature to locate a family physician who is accepting new patients.
The information in the Physician Directory is obtained directly from physicians. Therefore, unless a physician has
updated his/her contact information or indicated whether or not they are accepting new patients, the College cannot
guarantee its accuracy.

About Doctor Search
It can sometimes be difficult to find a new doctor, particularly if there is
a shortage of physicians in the area where you live. If you’re trying to find a
new doctor, you may wish to try the following strategies:
Health Care Connect
Health Care Connect is a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC)
program which helps Ontarians without a family health care provider find one.
The program refers people without a regular family health care provider to
physicians and nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients in their
community. To register for the Health Care Connect program, call 1-800-445-1822,
or for more information, visit the MOHLTC website...
Local Hospital(s)
Hospitals often know which physicians with privileges or on staff are accepting new patients, and may be able to provide a few contacts.
Community Health Centre(s)
Community health centres are organizations that provide primary health care and prevention programs through physicians and a variety of other health
professionals. If you have a local community health centre, it may be taking new patients. Keep in mind that most community health centres only provide services
to people who live within their particular community (i.e., within their “catchment area”) and/or target populations...
 Community Health Centres in Ontario
Local newspapers
Some physicians, including those who are new to an area or who are beginning to establish a practice, will advertise that they are accepting new patients.

Info-Santé 8-1-1
Le service Info-Santé permet de rejoindre un professionnel de la santé en cas de problème non urgent. Ce service de
consultation professionnelle téléphonique accessible 24 heures par jour, 7 jours par semaine, constitue une composante
majeure de la première ligne de soins de santé. Il permet de répondre à certaines questions courantes sur la santé,
ou de diriger la personne vers la bonne porte dans le système de santé et de services sociaux. Il s’inscrit en
complémentarité aux services des centres de santé et de services sociaux et des groupes de médecine de famille, qui
assurent pour leur part la prise en charge du patient, au-delà d’un problème ponctuel.
Toutefois, quand survient un problème urgent, il importe de se rendre à l’urgence lorsque possible, ou de composer le
9-1-1 pour obtenir de l’aide (policiers, ambulanciers, pompiers). |

Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors
Naturopathic Training
To obtain a naturopathic medical credential (ND) that qualifies the
recipient to sit for licensing examination students must have the
following:
- Prerequisites including three years of pre-medical sciences at a
University with a cumulative grade point average 3.00 on a four point scale.
Prerequisite courses: biology, biochemistry, chemistry, organic chemistry,
introductory psychology and humanities.
- Successfully complete a 4-year-full time program in an accredited
school of Naturopathic Medicine that includes more than 4,500 hours of classroom
training and 1,500 hours of supervised clinical experience.
- Pass NPLEX board exams that are written after the 2nd year and 4th
year of study. NPLEX is the standard examination used by all licensing
jurisdictions for Naturopathic doctors in North America.
- Meet the Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits as required by
the provincial regulatory boards on an ongoing
basis.
Naturopathic Doctors undergo training similar to medical doctors plus
they include the naturopathic disciplines. The four areas of training in the
four year, full-time Naturopathic Medicine curriculum are:
- Basic Sciences - This area of study includes anatomy, physiology,
histology, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, pharmacology and pathology.
- Clinical Disciplines - Diagnostic medicine areas of study are
physical and clinical diagnosis, differential and laboratory diagnosis,
radiology, naturopathic assessment and orthopaedics.
- Naturopathic Disciplines - There are six major disciplines that
define the areas of naturopathic practice. Each discipline is a distinct area of
practice and includes both diagnostic principles and practices as well as
therapeutic skills and techniques. They include: clinical nutrition, botanical
medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, homeopathic medicine,
hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulation and lifestyle counselling.
- Clinical Experience - All students must complete 1,500 hours of
clinical requirements and demonstrate proficiency in all aspects of Naturopathic
Medicine prior to graduation.
Accredited Naturopathic Colleges
The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education's mission is to ensure the
high quality of naturopathic medical education in the United States and Canada
through the voluntary accreditation of four-year, graduate-level programs in
naturopathic medicine. Students and graduates of programs accredited or
pre-accredited (candidacy) by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education
(CNME) are eligible to apply for the naturopathic licensing examinations
administered by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NABNE).
The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) is the authority for
establishing and maintaining the educational standards for the naturopathic
profession and accredits the naturopathic colleges in Canada and the United
States that enjoy recognition by the licensing and regulatory boards in the
provinces and states. [...] [Read more]
