First Five Years in Family Practice Committee
What’s new
The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) supports new family physicians through the First Five Years in Family Practice (FFYFP) Committee. The Committee consists of new family physician members from every province in Canada and focuses on areas that are important for family physicians in their first five years of practice.
The College would like to hear from new doctors, about the issues and challenges that affect them, and aims to support them where they need it most.
Contact the CFPC with questions, suggestions, and comments by email at [email protected] or on Facebook.
