Toronto, 10 February 2016 — The Ontario Medical Association’s District 11 held their 2016 Annual General Meeting at the Ismaili Centre, Toronto. The meeting was attended by some 150 physicians.

The keynote speaker was Dr Ross Upshar, Canada Research Chair in Primary Care Research and Professor at the University of Toronto’s Department of Family and Community Medicine and the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. His presentation, Population-Based Approaches to Clinical Care Delivery and Implications for Practice, generated dialogue and debate about how family physicians can harness the strength of the doctor-patient relationship to impact better patient-focussed care for large populations and improve prevention and management for multiple chronic diseases.
 
The new President of the Ontario Medical Association, Dr Mike Toth, also addressed the gathering. He discussed a number of initiatives that the 28,000-strong association of doctors is leading that seek to enhance the province’s health care system.
