Abstract
In the spring of 2008, the University of British Columbia (UBC) graduated 195 [1] students from its distributed undergraduate medical program, the first post-distribution cohort. The distributed program was developed in response to a chronic shortage of physicians in British Columbia [2,3]. The initiative is predicated on a multi-institutional partnership that is the first of its kind in undergraduate medical education in Canada [4]. The partnership currently comprises three sites: the pre-existing Vancouver Fraser Medical Program (VFMP) based at UBC, the Island Medical Program (IMP) based at the University of Victoria (UVic) on Vancouver Island, and the Northern Medical Program (NMP) based at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George, which lies approximately 1000 km north of Vancouver [2].
