Unfortunately, ongoing doctor shortages are contributing to an imbalance in healthcare access across the country. The situation is especially difficult in Montreal where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/where-is-my-doctor.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hundreds of thousands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of residents are without a family doctor right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, the provincial health system is in the process of restructuring. That\u2019s left many feeling understandably confused about <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to get a family doctor in Quebec<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re one of many Montrealers looking for a new <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physician, we\u2019re here to support you through the process. Here are some tried and true strategies for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to get a family doctor in Montreal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and where you can access care while you wait.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Finding a family doctor in Montreal<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montreal is an incredible city with lots to offer. However, if you don\u2019t have a family doctor, it can be hard to feel at home here. Thankfully, resources are available to help you with your search. Combining these with some time and a little effort will put you on the path to finding a new provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step to finding a new doctor in Montreal is to put your name on the provincial registry <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sel.ramq.gouv.qc.ca\/GRL\/LM_GuichAccesMdFamCitoy\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Quebec Family Doctor Finder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> otherwise known as the GAMF. This service connects provincial residents who are looking for a family doctor with practitioners who are accepting new patients. And, despite its name, its providers include both nurse practitioners and doctors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re on the GAMF waitlist, there are a few different ways of continuing your provider search.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on where you live, you may receive a letter from RAMQ (the provincial health system) letting you know that you\u2019ve been placed with a clinic network. While you won\u2019t have a personal physician within this network, belonging to the group allows you to access in-person appointments while remaining on the provincial waitlist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The providers in the clinic network will have access to your medical file. However, you\u2019ll likely see a different doctor at each appointment based on who\u2019s available. Depending on your concern, this may sometimes include a different type of practitioner altogether, such as a nurse or social worker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve been placed with one of these networks you\u2019re welcome to ask any of the doctors or nurse practitioners you see if they\u2019re accepting new patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t find a new practitioner this way or if you\u2019re not part of a clinic network, your local hospital may be able to help instead. Family doctors in Quebec must spend a certain <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmaj.ca\/content\/187\/1\/20?sid=573011c5-112f-4591-a962-3ca65e7c8cea\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">number of hours each week<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> seeing patients in public institutions. As a result, many end up working ER shifts, giving hospitals insight into who is currently taking on new patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other avenues worth exploring include nearby walk-in clinics. These clinics are often affiliated with teaching hospitals or family medicine practices. As a result, the doctor you see at one may have availability in their practice. If not, it\u2019s still worth asking the clinic if they have any leads as they may know other providers currently rostering patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to register with a family doctor in Montreal<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re assigned a new doctor by the province or find one on your own, registering with your new provider is relatively straightforward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve found a new doctor, they\u2019ll provide you with a registration form to complete. Doing this will both roster you with their practice and remove your name from the \u201cThe Quebec Family Doctor Finder\u201d registry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have a family doctor yet, keep the following requirements in mind to make sure your application to the provincial registry is evaluated properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within \u201cThe Quebec Family Doctor Finder\u201d registry, priority is given to those on the list who are most in need. As a result, it\u2019s crucial that your application includes all of your health information. This means detailing any chronic illnesses or mental health diagnoses, but it also extends to other conditions that increase your medical priority, such as pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As your health changes over time, it\u2019s important that you update your file to reflect this. Depending on the information you add, it may increase your priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, make sure that your contact details stay up to date. If you\u2019re matched with a primary care provider but can\u2019t be reached, your file <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec.ca\/en\/health\/finding-a-resource\/quebec-family-doctor-finder#c157961\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may be suspended<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, causing you to lose your spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How do I make an appointment with a doctor in Quebec?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in QC and don\u2019t have a family doctor, you have a few options for accessing care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One you\u2019re likely already familiar with is your local walk-in clinic. These clinics are a great resource for when only a hands-on examination will do. However, their name is a bit of a misnomer. Rather than walking in to find all the day\u2019s appointment slots gone, your best bet is to make an appointment online \u2014 ideally the night before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, you can call 8-1-1 to connect with a service navigator. Based on your concern, they\u2019ll be able to direct you to the best alternative, whether that\u2019s a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ciussswestcentral.ca\/programs-and-services\/lifestyle-habits-and-prevention\/consulting-a-doctor-without-an-appointment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">super clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or another community resource. This is also the contact number for making appointments if you\u2019ve received a letter from RAMQ indicating that you\u2019re under the care of a clinic network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the sheer number of Montrealers looking for care, however, both of these options will likely come with a wait. Thankfully, this is where virtual care can make a big difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through our platform, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/regions\/quebec\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visit virtually with a Canadian-licensed general practitioner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Quebec between 6 am and 11 pm. You can connect via your phone, tablet, or computer for speedy access wherever you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an added bonus, we also offer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/providers\/?reg=QC\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">specialist appointments in Quebec<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, no referral necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How long does it take to get a family doctor in Quebec<\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s unclear exactly what family doctor waitlists look like today, past data paint a grim picture. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/canada\/article-quebec-family-doctors-shortage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Globe and Mail<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the average wait for a family doctor in Montreal as of February 2021 was a whopping 862 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about the rest of the province? If you\u2019re trying <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gauge <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> long <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">applying for a family doctor in Quebec<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes, the answer is that things are better off-island, but not always by much. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in the Gaspesie \u2014 the region with the shortest wait \u2014 it took residents an average of 245 days to secure a new family physician. In the middle of the pack, the wait in the South Shore rang in at 580 days, or more than 18 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to get discouraged if you\u2019re in the midst of searching for a new family physician. The long wait times and confusing health system updates may only add to the general sense of anxiety surrounding the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, no matter how you\u2019re feeling, know that you have options. If you\u2019re unsure, calling 8-1-1 can help to provide the direction you need. And, as always, our doctors and primary care providers are here for you when you need care.
