Join the Family Medicine Patient Advisors Committee

Join the Family Medicine Patient Advisory Committee

We are looking for patients and caregivers to help inform how family doctors are trained and how care is delivered in our family medicine clinics.

The Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) at the University of Toronto is currently recruiting patient partners to join a Patient and Family Advisory Committee.

Patient partners will work with us to share their experiences and perspectives to help improve training for future family doctors and strengthen care in our teaching clinics. Time commitment: Approximately 15 hours per year for two years.

Ideal candidates are patients or caregivers who receive care at a family medicine clinic affiliated with the University of Toronto.

We are currently recruiting Patient and Family Advisory Committee members from the following clinics:

Patient Partner Pool

In addition to this committee, DFCM also maintains a Patient Partner Pool.

The Patient Partner Pool is a group of patients and caregivers who are contacted about future opportunities to participate in projects, committees, and initiatives across the department. We use this pool to match people with opportunities based on their interests, experiences, and availability.

If your clinic is not currently listed above, or if you are not selected for the committee at this time, you are still welcome to join the Patient Partner Pool.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please fill out the application form. Our team will keep this information confidential.
