Collaborating to Improve Care
For family medicine teachers and learners
The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) has developed resources—specifically for learners and for the clinical preceptor who teaches within and outside of the clinical setting—to support teaching and assessing the CanMEDS–Family Medicine Collaborator Role. These resources connect family medicine education frameworks, such as the Fundamental Teaching Activities and Evaluation Objectives.
In particular, TEAMS, a reflection tool used by learners and teachers, catalyzes ways of thinking collaboratively in family medicine.
