About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Family Medicine Forum (FMF) is Canada's largest and most comprehensive annual conference for family physicians. Hosted by the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), FMF provides the highest quality, expertly vetted, evidence-based education for family physicians in Canada, alongside celebrations, networking, and a large Exhibit Hall.
The event draws a nationwide clinical audience. FMF is designed to help attendees network and socialize with family physicians, residents, medical students, and related health care professionals from across Canada and abroad, making it relevant for practising physicians, trainees, educators, and researchers alike.
Attendees come for the breadth of continuing professional development. FMF enables participants to improve and implement new evidence-based knowledge across the entire discipline of family medicine, develop or acquire new skills in areas such as teaching, research, advocacy, and clinical practice, and appraise family medicine research through papers or poster presentations. With Mainpro+® credits, keynote addresses, hands-on workshops, and dedicated celebrations of excellence, it is a marquee gathering for the Canadian primary-care community.
