President's message. The elephant in the room.

摘要

Last year at the SRPC s annual conference in Colling-wood, Ont., the former president of The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) extended an invitation to the SRPC to sit as an observer on the newly formed Special Interests or Focused Practices Council of the CFPC. In August I attended my first meeting. I have to report that I felt like the elephant in the room, representing generalism in a meeting whose raison d'etre -was the acknowledgement of, and acquiescence to, family medicine currents that are flowing in the opposite direction.
