Please join us for the 98th in our series “Changing the Way We Work” on Friday, October 31, 2025. In this session, we will have an update on circulating infectious diseases.

Long-term care (LTC) residents are more dependent, frail and vulnerable, and require more complex care than community-dwelling older adults. Yet many interventions intended to reduce fracture risk are not used consistently in LTC, and clinical practice guidelines for osteoporosis have focused on the care of adults living in the community.

Collectively, physicians faced and/or continue to face a trauma related to caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, few family physicians have had the opportunity to collectively discuss this.

In this session, we will explore how Family Physicians and Primary Care Providers can better support the health needs of newly arrived refugees in Canada.

In this workshop, facilitators will share insights from the 2023 updated clinical practice guideline for management of osteoporosis and fracture prevention in Canada, as well as actionable tools for screening, diagnosing and optimizing care.

There is growing interest in the use of psychedelics for the treatment of PTSD, depression and substance use disorders. Patients may ask their provider about these options, but family physicians are unaware of the latest data on safety and efficacy or understand what services are available in Ontario.
