The medical inspection room at the Valcartier Cadet Training Centre is a place where cadets can easily obtain assistance for primary care. Whether it is for an injury, a health problem or an attentive ear, the qualified staff at the clinic will be able to meet the various needs of young people. A competent team of doctors, technicians, civilian and military nurses and several other staff members are on hand to assist from Monday to Saturday from 7am to 7pm and on Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Certainly, if we are not able to meet 100% of the need, we will be able to refer people to the second-line care centres nearby, which support us throughout the camp's activities, such as the Valcartier Health Centre located directly on the Valcartier military base or the CHUL, which is about a 20-minute drive away.
