The University of Toronto's Department of Family & Community Medicine (DFCM) is recognized internationally for its clinical and educational excellence. We train learners who are not only clinical experts, but reflective and socially conscious so that they may deliver the best possible care for any person they encounter.
Family medicine is the central component of learning at DFCM—residents are seen as family doctors as soon as they start the program. All residents spend at least eight months of the 24-month program in family medicine and continue half-days of practice during all rotations to promote continuity of care with patients. Our residency program trains leaders in education and research in family medicine and produces physicians who are able to practise and provide high-quality comprehensive care to local and international communities.
Our learning opportunities are unrivalled in breadth and quality, and we are flexible to meet your learning needs and expectations. We hope you will join us.
