Toronto International Conference on Quality in Primary Care: Improving Health Equity
Join University of Toronto Family and Community Medicine this fall for the 2nd Toronto International Conference on Quality in Primary Care on Saturday, November 16, 2019 as they welcome colleagues from around the world for a 1-day conference focused on improving health equity in primary care.
This year’s conference theme is improving health equity. The conference will explore several aspects of health equity, including health disadvantages related to income, race, and social position. They will strive to be solution-oriented and highlight promising primary care approaches for addressing health equity. These include a primary care network to improve service in impoverished areas of Scotland, novel community collaborations in Belgium, integration between primary care and public health in Costa Rica, programs to address Indigenous health disparities in Canada and Australia, and examples of how practices have started to screen for and address social determinants in Canada and the U.S.
