Dr. Eric Wong
President-Elect, Ontario College of Family Physicians

"Ontario’s plan to connect everyone with a family doctor is ambitious and essential—and growing the family medicine workforce is key to making it a reality. Reducing barriers for qualified physicians to practise in Ontario is a positive and timely step that can help improve access to care. As we work to attract new family physicians, we also need to continue moving forward with support for family physicians already providing high-quality care across the province. Together, these efforts will help strengthen the foundation of our health system for the long term."
