College of Family Physicians of Canada had proposed adding one year of training to prepare medical graduates for the increasingly complex landscape of family medicine
The College of Family Physicians of Canada is pausing a plan to extend residencies for family doctors to three years after physicians voted against it.The organization that sets training standards for Canadian family doctors is pausing a plan to lengthen residencies by a year after physicians from across the country voted overwhelmingly against the idea.
The longer residency was supposed to better prepare graduates for the increasingly complex landscape of family medicine, but it drew criticism from political leaders and front-line care providers who feared it would exacerbate Canada’s primary-care crisis. Federal, provincial and territorial health ministers came out against a three-year residency last month. Other influential medical organizations, including those representing rural physicians, resident doctors and medical students, also spoke out against the plan.
“When our own members are expressing that they’re not certain, we need to listen to them,” Dr. Green said on Monday. “Likewise, when governments express that they’re not certain and this has implications for the Canadian health care system, we need to listen to them.”
