DFCM Acronyms Reference

Unsure how to use common DFCM acronyms in your materials or what they stand for? View our comprehensive list of acronyms and their full titles.

Best practice in copy writing when using acronyms is to use the full title followed by the acronym in brackets on the first instance in the document, then using just the acronym for all following instances; for example, the first instance of CFPC would appear in a paragraph as: College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC)
