About DFCM, Education, Faculty, Faculty Development, Residency, Research
Over the past 20 months, family physicians have rolled up their sleeves and leaned into helping Ontarians navigate the most significant health challenge in recent memory while still providing everyday comprehensive care to patients.
In celebration of outstanding individual contributions to family medicine, and the profession of family medicine as a whole, the Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) has honoured 27 individuals including 10 DFCM faculty and learners at their annual awards night.
Meanwhile, the College of Family Physicians of Canada’s Foundation for Advancing Family Medicine (CFPC- FAFM) has announced their honour roll, which include four DFCM faculty.
Please join us in congratulating all the award recipients. The full lists are available on the OCFP and CFPC websites.
