When you consider that the practice of family medicine in Québec demands knowledge that is at once extremely precise and extremely diversified, the recognition granted to it by our professional body today makes perfect sense >>>

The Fédération des médécins omnipraticiens du Québec (FMOQ) is getting set to repeat the smash success of its documentary Diagnostic (160,000 viewings) produced and released this past spring, with a second advertising campaign whose aim, like its predecessor, is to promote family medicine and better access to health care. >>>

Dr. Godin will meet general physicians from across Québec to, among other activities, provide an update on the decisive negotiations that will soon be taking place between the government and general practitioners. Over the course of the tour, which will be held from September 11 to November 26, Dr. Godin and his team will visit each of the 19 associations. >>>
