Through global health education, the Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) aims to leverage family medicine in Canada to improve the health of those made vulnerable by adverse social determinants of health and their inequitable structural underpinnings—in Canada and abroad.
Committed to social justice and equity, the program contributes to the development of sustainable health systems anchored in quality primary care.
We offer a range of educational experiences designed to strengthen the discipline and delivery of primary care globally, and improve the capacity of family physicians to address the needs of individuals and populations impacted by adverse social determinants of health.
