About DFCM, Faculty, Education, Research, Faculty Development
This year was unlike any other. The COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe, challenging physicians like never before. But with these challenges come opportunities for learning.
Family doctors have been at the front lines of the pandemic since the very beginning. Many have found innovative ways to ensure continuity of care and education in an ever-changing environment, and are sharing learnings and resources to help colleagues across the department. While we have pivoted and adapted to the “new normal”, there is still much left to be learned about COVID-19 and family medicine.
Every year, the DFCM Conference is an opportunity to gather, discuss and discover what’s new in family medicine. While the 2020 conference was cancelled due to the pandemic, DFCM is happy to announce that the 2021 DFCM Conference will be held virtually on June 3, 2021.
With the theme, Family Medicine: Learning from COVID-19, the conference will be an opportunity to share challenges and embrace learnings and ongoing opportunities around COVID-19.
We invite you to submit an abstract for one or more of the following by February 8, 2021:
Poster sessions – includes a virtual poster, 1-minute pre-recorded commentary, and an interactive Q&A session.
Workshop – 45 minutes, provided over Zoom.
Sessions on all areas of family medicine and primary care are welcome, but we encourage abstracts that reflect this year's theme. In light of the new theme and format, previously accepted abstracts must be resubmitted for consideration for the 2021 conference.
DFCM family doctors are world leaders in teaching, research, and clinical care. Congratulations to the 16 DFCM faculty and residents, plus a project team, who were recognized in the OCFP and CFPC awards this year – more than ever before.
The DFCM Conference is designed for you. Join DFCM colleagues and friends on Thursday, May 16, 2024 at theBeanfield Centre, Torontoas we come together to connect and learn.
We are pleased to recognize our faculty, staff, and learners for their hard work and successes in clinical care, education, research, leadership, and administration over the past year. Congratulations to all of the 2023 award winners!
