centre that provides opportunities for group practices.  Group practices provide a working environment that enables physicians to consult with one another and share operating costs.  This is the way in which physicians want to practice medicine in rural communities, with a large emphasis placed on teamwork.  We need to build a new medical centre that will ensure that we can adequately compete with other communities to recruit physicians.  The centre must be able to accommodate 12 physicians, the amount needed to adequately serve our catchment population.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="368"><div> le besoin</div> <div> Le Nipissing Ouest ne possède pas de centre médical pour la pratique en groupe.  L'exercice collectif de la médecine crée un milieu de travail qui permet aux médecins de se consulter entre eux et de partager les coûts de fonctionnement.  C'est de cette façon que les médecins désirent exercer la médecine dans les communautés rurales, en préconisant le travail d'équipe.  Il faut que nous construisions un nouveau centre médical qui nous permettra de nous mesurer aux autres communautés pour recruter des médecins.  Le centre doit pouvoir loger douze médecins, c'est-à-dire le nombre dont avons besoin pour desservir convenablement notre bassin de population.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 301 WIDTH="356"><div> the benefits</div>
