The Value of Family Physicians
More than 15,000 family physicians play a unique role in Ontario's health care system. Family doctors have a deep knowledge of the health care system, working hard every day to make sure their patients get the best care.
As the main primary care medical specialty in Canada, family physicians know what's working and what's not, in no small part due to your focus on the individual patient, within their families and across the greater community in which you work.
The OCFP vision for family physicians is really quite simple: we see healthy Ontarians in a system where family physicians play a central, leading role. As leaders for a healthy Ontario, Ontario's family physicians are vital to the success of our health system and the key to optimal patient care.
