 Dr. Derek Boan
Dr Boan, a U of S Medical School graduate (1985), joined our team May 2007. Dr Boan gained diverse experience for a full range of family practice problems while teaching in the Saskatoon Academic Family Medicine Unit, 1992-97, and then through the Queen’s University Family Medicine outreach program at Moose Factory, ON, 1997-2003. Over his 17 years of general practice, obstetrics and emergency work, he came to realize how crucial the interaction of mind and body is to so many problems. Dr Boan returned to Saskatchewan in 2003 to specialize in Psychiatry. By spring 2006, Dr Boan parted ways with the Saskatoon Department of Psychiatry and began practicing medicine in a holistic fashion, incorporating his psychiatric knowledge with his earlier clinical experience to help people deal with the complexities of their lives. The psychological aspects of family practice, including those of chronic pain, anxiety and mood problems lend themselves to psychotherapy techniques. Dr Boan is pleased to collaborate with the other care-providers at Regina Rehab & Family Medical Clinic to provide comprehensive patient care.
