The Department of Family Medicine has developed a suite of innovative programs for primary care teachers, using a blended and active learning methodology. The goal of the program is to strengthen the foundation and enhance the leadership and teaching capacity of general practice teachers.

• Driven by a core group of Â鶹AV Family Medicine clinicians, teachers and leaders, our approach combines on-line courses, intensive face-to-face learning and practical activities.
• Using active learning principles to ensure that the curriculum is relevant to each student’s particular context, and building community-based learning cohorts to encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing, our curriculum is designed to keep students engaged in their learning experience by providing opportunities to apply their learning to their practice, both as teachers and as clinicians.
• We are working to share our rich experience and unique knowledge in care, teaching and research in primary care by establishing partnerships across the world.
