CPSO/CFPC Joint Statement - Revised Guidance for Emergency Medicine in Rural Practice

After working closely with the CFPC, and hearing from many family physicians, the CPSO is amending its document: Expectations of Physicians Not Certified in Emergency Medicine Intending to Include Emergency Medicine As Part of Their Rural Practice - Changing Scope of Practice Process. The expectations document will recognize the experience family physicians receive in urban emergency departments as meeting the necessary criteria to include emergency medicine in a rural practice; including new graduates of a family medicine residency program.

"What we need to really be thinking about when we are looking at solutions is how we can overall increase the capacity in our primary care system, so that we can make sure every patient is connected to a family physician and is able to get care." https://t.co/kU7HQK4Ljj
