The National Family Physician Survey (NFPS) was a randomly
selected, stratified sample of 5,198 family physicians, general practitioners
and emergency family physicians across Canada. The survey was
launched in 1997 to achieve the first goal of the Janus Project, the development
of a comprehensive database on family physicians. At the time there was a
need to gather more than just superficial demographic physician data. In
order to facilitate physician human resource planning, it was necessary to
examine patterns of practice and physician services.
The objective of the NFPS was twofold. Primarily,
to collect baseline information about the practice of family medicine in
Canada. The secondary objective was to provide support for the second goal
of the Janus Project, identifying areas of need for developing educational and
research strategies. The survey was designed to meet both objectives.
