Please join us for the 96th in our series “Changing the Way We Work” on Friday September 26, 2025. In this session, we will have a brief update on infectious diseases.

Learning objectives and description TBD. The Health Equity Community of Practice for Ontario Family Physicians Community of Practice has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 1 Mainpro+ credit.

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.

Since 2018, patients have been able to access medical cannabis that has been authorized by a physician who signs a medical document. New research supporting the therapeutic use, safety and efficacy on cannabis is only now emerging, which puts family physicians in a difficult position as they may be asked to authorize cannabis when they are not familiar with the process.

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.

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.
