COVID-19 Community of Practice for Ontario Family Physicians
Testing for COVID-19 and “last mile” vaccination
Please join us for the 30th in our series 'Changing the way we work' on Friday, October 22th at 8:00-9:00am (ET). We’ll be discussing the different options available for COVID-19 testing, when to use them, and how they can be accessed by your office. We’ll hear directly from a family physician who has advocated for testing resources in her community and implemented different testing options as part of her practice. We’ll also discuss the challenging task of changing the minds of our patients who remain unvaccinated and learn from successful approaches used by the VaxFacts clinic in Scarborough.
