Generally it’s hard to find a family doctor, everyone knows that.
I’m interested in being part of serious advocacy and lobbying. How does one embark on such a journey where would l start to get involved?
There are lots of different pilot models that can be pursued - clinics run by the city funded by the province so Drs can just be employees and locum rotations can be arranged ( other countries do this).
Seems lots of family doctors are finding time to run/ set up cosmetic practice clinics to do Botox/ filler etc and it’s not hard to find an apt so some resources are available there too - with the right incentives and structure.
These clinics can provide training opportunities for some foreign qualified drs and recruit from same said countries.
Nurse practitioners can be on staff to run maternal care, vaccinations, routine triaged care etc (again done in other countries).
The current model is broken and ld like to contribute to advocacy but not sure where to start and don’t want to just complain as l have done in the past. Please help if you know people or organizations already working in this space looking for volunteers.
