10 organizations have come together to raise awareness of the significant wage gap between community care and other health sectors like hospitals. It’s a significant issue to recruitment and retention in primary care.
Family physicians are often the first person a patient calls when something isn’t right and are always there to guide patients through health challenges. #LifeWthADoctor
OCFP is thrilled to see the appointment of @janephilpott as the new Chair of the Primary Care Action Team in Ontario. We are encouraged by the government's action to appoint a family physician to lead this important work and by the commitment from @SylviaJonesMPP to expand access to team-based primary care.

Dr. Jobin Varughese has been announced as President of the Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) representing more than 18,000 members. As President, Dr. Varughese will focus on supporting the OCFP in making practise better for family physicians and ensuring they are at the forefront in leading much-needed change in our healthcare system
Dr. Varughese is committed to championing the voices of Ontario’s family physicians and working to develop meaningful solutions that will not only help recruit future family physicians, but also retain physicians and ensure the profession is thriving today.
2.5 million Ontarians don't have a family doctor and forecasts show that 1 in 4 will be without one by 2026. Rolling out AI scribes to every doctor will allow them to spend more time with patients, and is one way to prevent the family medicine crisis from becoming a catastrophe
Family doctors help patients to navigate their care through every step and every stage of life. OCFP President-elect, Dr. Jobin Varughese shares how family doctors are trusted sources of care for their patients. @Drjvmd
