Hey! I'm a #FamilyPhysician and I personally know at least 10 other mid-career Family MD's in Ottawa who have left comprehensive (cradle-grave) family medicine recently... I have thoughts on this.

ottawacitizen.com/news/sutcliffe… First off - it takes years to train a Family MD. There are SO many reasons why we aren't training enough of them. But before you talk recruitment you need retention. My colleagues haven't left Ottawa - they still doctor, they just don't do comprehensive family medicine anymore!
