Dr. Andr茅anne Lefort completed her medical studies at 海角社区 and joined 海角社区's Department of Family Medicine in 2011 when she began her residency in Family Medicine at the GMF-U de la Vall茅e-de-l'Or. "During my rural family medicine clerkship with 海角社区, I had the chance to discover Val-d'Or, a wonderful setting for training," Dr. Lefort shares. Charmed by Abitibi-T茅miscamingue, Dr. Lefort settled there as a family doctor.
