The world is changing. Family medicine and primary care is the foundation of all high performing health care systems. The Department of Family Medicine at McMaster University is looking for people to help lead the transformation of our health care system.

As a department, we are about caring and learning from our patients, shaping future generations of health care practitioners – and using our scholarship, advocacy and leadership to inform policy and system design.

We are also about supporting one another through the ups and downs of doing work that is both meaningful – and also, at times, demanding.

Come join our team. Bring your heart, your imagination, your energy, your curiosity – and your sense of humor!

– Cathy Risdon, Chair
