University Departments of Family Medicine Committee

The Board of Directors supports the work of the University Departments of Family Medicine by establishing a committee structure to maintain close supportive links between the OCFP and the departments of family medicine.  The chairs of the Departments of Family Medicine and the Program & Undergraduate Directors meet with the Executive of the OCFP bi-annually to provide a liaison between the programs and the Board. Joint meetings with the Residents Committee is also facilitated by the OCFP so that issues can be identified and joint plans of actions developed. Click here for links to the Universities websites.
