2022–2027 DFCM Strategic Plan
As the largest department of family and community medicine in the world, we have a duty to take on the biggest challenges facing the healthcare system, the wellbeing of our communities, and the training of future practitioners.
We’re committed to building the kind of Relationships, Community and Leadership that ensure family doctors and community-based medicine are the foundation of a healthy, more equitable care system.
– Dr. Danielle Martin, Chair, Department of Family & Community Medicine
Land Acknowledgement
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
We’re ready to champion new ideas and approaches for the wellbeing of our communities and the training of future practitioners. To do that we need a new plan, new energy, and newschool thinking.
