While caring for patients in their homes is a tradition in family medicine and forms part of our current curriculum, the long-term care setting is often not seen as providing care in a patient's home. The College of Family Physician of Canada is specific about addressing this in its Core Professional Activities CPA 24: Provide primary care for patients with complex medical needs in their homes, long-term care facilities, and other community-based settings. This series of case-based modules seeks to demystify the long-term care setting and address how patients and their families make the decision and journey to enter long term care in Ontario, the organization and delivery of long term care and the role of the family physician in the long- term care setting.

We endeavour to help learners and faculty incorporate anti-racist beliefs into their worldview and practice of family medicine. This series was created with the Core Professional Activity 9 from the College of Family Physicians in mind: Provide medical care that challenges systemic racism and supports health equity with/ for Indigenous peoples and other racialized or underserved patient communities.
Concepts of race and systemic racism, intersectionality, individual discrimination and biases will be investigated in a Canadian context; leaving learners equipped with actionable steps. Compelling conversations with leaders and contributors from across the country, coupled with opportunities for reflective learning, the learner will be guided through their journey of becoming anti-racist.

The Musculoskeletal (MSK) Project provides first and second year family medicine residents with an opportunity to further develop their knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and all joints in the human body through online quizzes and learning resources. Driven by the online learning momentum built during the COVID-19 pandemic, the MSK team sought to offer interactive learning opportunities to increase the knowledge of residents in responding to musculoskeletal complaints, which are among the primary reasons that individuals seek medical attention in Ontario. Developed in partnership with the PMO’s Student Coop team, the MSK project was designed to complement the family medicine curriculum and offers progress indicators for learners and faculty to track educational progress.

Inspired by the Choose Your Own Adventure series, the Choosing Wisely hub will guide students through interactive learning modules based on the Choosing Wisely Canada principles. The Choosing Wisely project aims to promote conversations between clinicians and patients to ultimately equip patients to choose care that is evidence-based, free from harm, truly necessary and not duplicative of other tests or procedures. By navigating through a series of dynamic patient cases and quizzes, learners will be challenged to make the best clinical decisions using the Choosing Wisely guidelines.
