The recent appointment of Dr Sari Cooper as co-chair of the General Practice Services Committee (GPSC) has created an opportunity for a family physician interested in playing a role in the future of primary care. We encourage anyone who is interested to consider submitting an application to join the committee as the newest Doctors of BC member.
The Board of Directors of Doctors of BC has appointed Dr Sari Cooper as the new co-chair of the General Practice Services Committee (GPSC). Dr Cooper is a family physician in Victoria, BC who has practiced community-based longitudinal family medicine since 2001. She has been a member of the GPSC since 2019.
Recruiting coaches at Doctors of BC for the GPSC Practice Support Program (PSP) is now underway with positions slated to be filled by early fall 2022. It’s the next phase of transitioning PSP service delivery from the health authorities into one organization, an undertaking announced in fall 2021.
On June 9, 2022, the GPSC will host a province-wide virtual knowledge exchange on providing culturally safe and relational ways to deliver primary care to Indigenous peoples and communities.
Dear Family Physicians, Thank you for the extraordinary work you do as family doctors, each and every day, for your patients and your communities. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to patient care during these incredibly difficult times.
