The BCCFP announces its annual award recipients

On May 19th we celebrated BC Family Doctor Day and honoured the recipients of the 2021 BCCFP awards. We received a record number of nominations for our awards this year: nearly 400 in total! Nominators told us stories of kindness, professionalism, support of colleagues and patients, ingenuity in clinical practice, and leadership in health care. With so many high-quality nominations, it was a real challenge to select the recipients. Read about the recipients.

Learn more about how we celebrated BC Family Doctor Day, including a special thank-you video with messages from some very familiar faces!
