1⃣ What's the difference
between seeing a family doctor at a walk-in clinic
versus
a "regular" family doctor's office?

There are two typical kinds of "relationships" people have with a family doctor - EPISODIC + LONGITUDINAL #Cdnhealth #primarycare
A LONGITUDINAL relationship
with a doctor, NP, clinic,
ie you get to know each other

Research has shown that LONGITUDINAL primary care
improves the health of a community +
reduces overall costs of the system.

🪄Magic, right? #Cdnhealth #primarycare
