These principles are what make our work impactful in the health care system and in the lives of our patients.

Just as markers needed to guide boats to safe harbour require resounding after a major storm, CFP feels this is a critical time to reflect on the principles that define the nature of family practice.

Canadian Family Physician hopes to contribute to this ongoing conversation through our 10-part series, “Foundations for Tomorrow,” based on the 9 principles of family medicine by the late Dr Ian McWhinney.

In a time of widespread disillusionment with medicine and a decline in the number of family physicians, how can we revitalize family medicine in Canada?

Ces principes sont ce qui rend notre travail percutant dans le système de santé et, peut-être avant tout, dans la vie de nos patients.

Tout comme les balises de chenal nécessaires pour ramener les bateaux à bon port doivent être remises en place après une grosse tempête, le MFC croit que le moment est crucial pour réfléchir aux principes qui définissent la nature de la pratique de la médecine familiale.

Le Médecin de famille canadien espère contribuer à cette conversation continue avec une série de 10 articles intitulée « Fondements de l’avenir », basée sur les neuf principes de la médecine familiale du regretté Dr Ian McWhinney.

À un moment de désillusionnement généralisé entourant la médecine et de déclin dans le nombre de médecins de famille, comment revitaliser la médecine familiale au Canada ?
