The City of Belleville has announced that they have signed Queen’s University medical student Kimberly Mitchell to its doctor recruitment program.
Mitchell will be the 51st physician recruited by the city through its program.
She will begin to receive financial support as she completes medical school and starts her residency.
“We had the pleasure of meeting Kimberly more than a year ago,” said Mayor Neil Ellis in a press release.
“Over the past year, we have been able to get to know her and are so pleased she has become acquainted with Belleville and decided to join our program. Although she worked several years as a mechanical engineer, she has decided to change course and devote herself to helping people through family medicine and the City of Belleville couldn’t be happier she will be joining us in 2029.”
Mitchell also spoke about joining the program.
“One of the things we noticed about Belleville is the way citizens, local businesses, organizations and the city work together to make the area a great place to live,” said Mitchell in a release.
“My family and I are really looking forward to becoming part of the community.”
