R/T @CBCNews: Thanks to Amina Zafar for highlighting the importance of Canadians having access to family doctors & other primary care providers, & how medical education can play a role. I have a few thoughts on this to share - thread 🧵 @afhto 1/9cbc.ca/news/health/fa…
Team-based primary care training has existed for Family Medicine trainees in Ontario for some time now in the form of interdisciplinary Academic Family Health Teams (FHTs). The @CFPC_e continues to advocate to spread this model nationally - . 2/9cfpc.ca/en/policy-inno…
Beyond training, Ontario has community based FHTs and CHCs (Community Health Centres) that run interdisciplinary family medicine practices. @OntariosDoctors also advocates for more of these (only 25% of Ontarians have access): @DrCatherineYu 3/9oma.org/newsroom/ontar…
An announcement by the @fordnation govt last week committed $1.4B to expand primary care teams in Ontario to reduce the 2.5M unattached patients. Looking forward to hearing more from @janephilpott after the election. Hope this idea spreads nationally. 4/9news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…
Happy to hear the new medical schools @TorontoMet, @SFU, & @MemorialU are following in the footsteps of @QueensUHealth that recently established the 1st medical school in Canada focussed on training family doctors in partnership with @LakeridgeHealth in @RegionofDurham 5/9
Thanks to @TheAgenda for highlighting our innovative program to help the shortage of family docs - youtu.be/hHXKtsLieCQ?si…, along with @cbcwhitecoat podcast - podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/whi…. Here’s our website: meds.queensu.ca/academics/mdpr…. We hope our leadership continues to inspire. 6/9
A strong foundation of family medicine & primary care is crucial to any successful health care system. Let’s continue to talk, collaborate and build on existing models to meet the needs of our patients and create a sustainable working environment for our providers. @queensu 7/9
