Second Joint McGill University - Peking University Symposium on Primary Care Policy

The Department of Family Medicine is pleased to invite you to the Second Joint McGill University - Peking University Symposium on Primary Care Policy. 

Learning from each other - From Policy to Action: Successful Implementation of Primary Care Reform

October 16, 2019, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 
Thomson House 

Chaired by Prof. Howard Bergman, Chair, Department of Family Medicine and Prof. Xiaoyun Liu, Deputy Director, China Center for Health Development Studies
Organized by the Department of Family Medicine, McGill University and the China Centre for Health Development Studies, Peking University

The first joint Symposium, hosted in Beijing in November 2018 highlighted the similarities between the challenges faced by both Chinese and Canadian primary health care systems. In this second edition, we will explore and discuss insights from our respective experiences in primary care reform, focusing on patient-centred interdisciplinary care for complex chronic disease in primary care and the integration and linkages with hospitals and specialist care. By revealing areas of success and the challenges faced, we aim to provoke a conversation on how China and Canada can learn and grow together for a stronger and more effective primary health care system.
