The Case of the New Family Physician and the Practicing Pediatrician in Delivery of Health Care for Children in Canada

J. B.J. McKendry M.B., F.R.C.P.1

1 Senior Physician, Hospital for Sick Children Toronto, Canada

The College of Family Physicians of Canada has evolved a firm philosophy of its new image. The medical school graduate of the future will enter a two-year program partly hospital-based and partly community clinic-or private office-based to develop the adequate skills necessary to render primary care in internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and trauma, with a continual infusion of knowledge related to the psychosocial dynamics of family life. This new physician will require the services of the social worker, the public health nurse, the school nurse, the psychologist, the family counsellor and the psychiatrist.
