Every patient matters. The amount of patients a physician takes on is based on a multitude of factors, including how our doctors can provide their patients the best care possible.

Every patient matters. A patient is not an arbitrary number. Primary care physicians and rural generalists cannot and will not treat Alberta's patients this way. The Physician comprehensive care model must be implemented and address these concerns.

By providing a comprehensive compensation model & increasing resources, Manitoba's 100-doctor plan is promising. Alberta's retention & recruitment is behind. We compete daily to recruit physicians & keep current practices afloat. The Urgency is Still Real. winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2…

'I qualify for none of the announced funding'.
Patients are more than numbers. Various factors contribute to panel size including location, demographics and patient complexity. We must implement the Physician Comprehensive Care Model in a way that keeps all practices viable.
