📣 Research Highlight! One of our former directors and her colleagues’ published an article in the Canadian Family Physician Journal: “Internationally trained physicians in family medicine leadership”. It explores the discrepancies in ITPs in leadership when compared with the Canadian FM workforce data. Their results call for future research exploring leadership trends, factors accounting for ITPs’ underrepresentation, and strategies to overcome potential barriers.

ITPO members Dr. Mariana Jardim (Former Vice Chair and now PAR consultant) and Dr. Anjali Menezes have co-authored a powerful new article in the Canadian Family Physician journal that examines the systemic challenges faced by ITPs and calls for urgent reforms to support their integration into Canada's healthcare system.
