Practicing in Woodstock
Woodstock, with its tree-lined streets and century-old homes, is known as ‘The Friendly City’. It’s a rapidly growing city of just over 45,000. Conveniently located at the intersection of Highways 401 and 403, Woodstock is an easy commute from London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Brantford, and Hamilton.
Woodstock Hospital is a state-of-the-art, 178 bed capacity, full-service community hospital. Opportunities are available for inpatient care, OR assist, and newborn coverage if interested (but not required).
There are over 350 hectares of parks and trails, recreational facilities and a strong sense of community, making Woodstock a great place to live and raise a family. Woodstock is also home to a campus of Fanshawe College, and there are five major Universities within a one-hour drive. While Toronto Pearson International Airport is only 120 km away, Woodstock has even more convenient access to International airports in London, Hamilton, and Waterloo.
