SUMMARY:Medical Fitness to Drive: When & How To Report
DESCRIPTION:Under Section 203 of the Highway Traffic Act\, physicians have mandatory reporting requirements for high risk medical conditions\, visual impairments\, and functional impairments that make it dangerous for a person to drive. These decisions are mandated and can cause a great deal of stress for both the patient and the physician and can challenge their therapeutic relationship. We’ll explore how to have these conversations with skill\, involve the right supports\, and preserve\, or even strengthen\,  the physician-patient relationship. The session will also create space to acknowledge and address the emotional and professional toll these decisions take on family doctors. \n\n\n\nThe Practising Well Community of Practice has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to 1 Mainpro+Ⓡcredits. This Community of Practice includes a series of planned webinars. Each session is worth 1 Mainpro+Ⓡcredits\, for up to a total of 12 credits. \n\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n\n\nJustin McCarthy\n\n\n\nDr. Katarina Lakovic\n\n\n\n\nModerator:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Carrie Bernard\, Family Physician Queen Square FHT\, Continuing Professional Development and Partnerships Lead\, Division of Mental Health & Addictions DFCM\, Assistant Professor DFCM University of Toronto\, Assistant Clinical Professor DFM McMaster University\n\n\n\n\nCo-Host:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Chase McMurren\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Family & Community Medicine at the University of Toronto
