2022 DFCM Conference – Recordings now available
On May 6, 2022, over 640 faculty, alumni, residents, students, staff, and local and international friends of the University of Toronto Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) gathered for the first full-day virtual DFCM Conference. With the theme Better together: Shaping the future of family medicine, the DFCM Conference was an opportunity for DFCM colleagues locally and around the world to connect, learn and discuss how we can work with the communities we serve to shape the future of primary care.
The conference featured two live keynote sessions: the Walter Rosser lecture – which also kicked off our New Horizons speaker series – was presented by Dr. Sandro Galea, physician, epidemiologist and Dean at Boston University School of Public Health, who discussed the foundational forces shaping health in our society and what this could mean for primary care and family medicine. In the afternoon, Dr. Andrew Pinto presented the Earl Dunn Lecture (recording coming soon), where he spoke about how we can create the health system of tomorrow to support health equity.
The virtual format allowed attendees to join us from across Canada, as well as from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, France, Ghana, India, Ireland, Nigeria, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United States.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the conference. For those who were unable to attend, the recordings for each session can be found below in a playlist.
