About this item
Product details
In The Doctors We Need, Dr. Anthony Sanfilippo, a respected cardiologist and former Associate Dean of Medical Education at Queen's University, confronts a startling reality: in a nation proud of its pledge to universal healthcare, over 6 million Canadians lack a family doctor. This crisis persists despite massive investments in medical education and institutions. We need to think differently.
Drawing on over 40 years of experience in the classroom and at the bedside, Dr. Sanfilippo exposes--with elegance, wit, and empathy--how our legacy processes for recruiting, educating, and promoting hyper-specialization in medicine have failed to adapt to the basic healthcare needs any Canadian should expect. Through compelling real-life accounts, he illustrates:
- The impact of outdated selection and training methods on doctor shortages
- How our complex, siloed medical education system lacks crucial oversight
- Why current approaches fail to produce doctors with the diverse skills needed today
This groundbreaking book doesn't just diagnose the problem--it prescribes solutions that alter incentives for decision-makers and embrace a new path for aspiring family physicians. Dr. Sanfilippo proposes innovative reforms in three critical areas:
- Doctor selection
- Medical education and training
- Healthcare workplace environments
The Doctors We Need is a call to action, challenging Canadians, medical schools, and our political leaders to embrace urgent, disruptive change in the face of clear and present needs. It offers a practical roadmap for ensuring every Canadian has access to quality primary care. Essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare in Canada, this book provides the blueprint for transforming our medical system to truly serve all Canadians.
