Fixing Family Medicine — Dr. Jane Philpott and Dr. Tara Kiran
With an exodus of family doctors — due to burnout caused by heavy workloads, difficulties getting patient referrals and financial stress — 1 in 5 Canadians do not have direct access to primary care. Why is family medicine so important and what can we do to repair this over-burdened health care sector? Listen as host Avis Favaro speaks with 2 physicians who say they know how to turn this around — and that every Canadian should have the right to basic health care near their homes. Guests are • Dr. Jane Philpott, Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences, and Director, School of Medicine, Queen’s University; family physician; and former federal minister of health • Dr. Tara Kiran, Fidani Chair of Improvement and Innovation, University of Toronto; and Family Physician and Scientist, St. Michael’s Hospital, Unity Health Toronto This episode is available in English only.
