As medical students get ready to pick their residency program @CaRMS_CA, hear from some current #familymedicine residents about why they chose – and continue to choose – family med. #FMproud
There are already 2.3 million Ontarians who do not have a family doctor. Forecast shows that will only get worse. There is still time to change course and reverse this disturbing trend—but it will require urgent action from the Ontario government. bit.ly/45Jaqcb
I cannot imagine what it is like for gender diverse kids today. Pls let them know that @OntariosDoctors stand in support with all 2SLGBTQ+ youth #NoSpaceForHate
At DFM, we are community connected. We have strong partnerships with primary care and health care partners to share knowledge, resources and extend programming where needed to the broader community. Learn more and apply today: fammed.mcmaster.ca/faculty-join-u…
Canadians will forever be grateful to the health minister or premier who first makes and achieves this commitment. Other countries do this, we can too. thestarphoenix.com/opinion/column…
Timely and important work - great KT strategy. High relevance for educators and policy makers with a stake in sustainable family medicine and primary care.

The shortage of family doctors across the province is one of the most critical issues facing patients. Primary care is the foundation of Ontario’s health-care system and we need to work together so all patients can get timely access to the care they need. #ONhealth

Good article with concrete solutions to improve primary care. Written for an Australian audience, but all 5 solutions apply to Canada too. theconversation.com/general-practi…

T2DM guidelines have a BIG problem. The 2018 Canadian guidelines are ~350 pages long. 2021 American ~225 pages. 2019 European ~70 pages. Frustratingly, none of them provide a useful numeric description of what the best available evidence shows for risk, benefits and harms.
How do patients and doctors make health-care decisions when evidence doesn't exist? Researcher Meredith Vanstone gives insight into ethical complexity, the tough decisions that balance values, resources and circumstances when there's no or little evidence: fammed.mcmaster.ca/researcher-hel…
Primary care is the foundation of the healthcare system Like a good building foundation, we forget about it when it’s working well It’s unseen, unsexy, and no one really wants to spend extra on it But, when it starts to crumble, the whole home can give way 🧵
May 19 is #WorldFamilyDoctorDay, and we want to express our gratitude to family doctors across the world who are critical in keeping families, patients and communities healthy. (1/4)
Looking forward to learning more - including how the Department of Family can support and contribute. Join if you can!
