OCFP is encouraged by Ontario's next step to increase the number of qualified family physicians who are eligible to practice in Ontario. See a quote from OCFP President-Elect, Dr. Eric Wong, below and the Ontario Ministry of Health's news release here: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

A quote from Ontario College of Family Physicians' President-Elect, Dr. Eric Wong, which reads "Ontario’s plan to connect everyone with a family doctor is ambitious and essential—and growing the family medicine workforce is key to making it a reality. Reducing barriers for qualified physicians to practise in Ontario is a positive and timely step that can help improve access to care. As we work to attract new family physicians, we also need to continue moving forward with support for family physicians already providing high-quality care across the province. Together, these efforts will help strengthen the foundation of our health system for the long term."
