Message from the Chair
It has been wonderful to connect with so many of you over the past several weeks at our site visits. Having the opportunity to see some of you in person was definitely an added bonus! For those at Bruyère and Primrose, we will be meeting tomorrow at 11:30 am - I look forward to seeing you then (here's the meeting link to join).
If you were unable to attend a previous meeting, or if you have additional comments or questions , I hope you will join our DFM Virtual Forum tonight at 5:30 pm. All are welcome (even if you already attended a previous meeting!).

These meetings ensure that all of our members have the opportunity to share their ideas for our department to advance family medicine education, research and primary care for all. The DFM Departmental Assembly is the next important step in this process. We have an exciting agenda for this full-day event on December 4. Please register today and join us as we set the course for the future of this great department. |
