The Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) has launched a new, six-part virtual Breakfast Series on Innovative Approaches to Optimizing Teams, designed to showcase practical, real-world experiences from family physicians in different team settings across the province. 

Delegation works when people know what they own, what they may initiate, when to escalate and how completion becomes visible. This session moves beyond job descriptions to the practical pathways that let team members act within scope without making the family physician an obligatory checkpoint. ​

We will unpack examples such as direct access, booking directives, chronic disease and preventive care workflows, and referral coordination. They will discuss how pathways were co-designed, where ambiguity created risk or rework, and how roles were revised as teams and patient needs evolved. ​

This one-credit-per-hour Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 12 Mainpro+ credits.
