Family doctors are specialists in the health and well-being of people, families and communities. We care for all ages, genders, body parts and diseases.
At the University of Toronto Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM), our 1,900+ faculty of teachers and researchers train the next generation of family doctors and improve clinical care in Canada and abroad.
