Your Voice Needed: Family Doctors to Join Our Operational Teams

Dear SGFP Members,

We need your expertise at the table. As family doctors continue to navigate unprecedented pressures across Ontario, your involvement in shaping SGFP’s work has never mattered more. The strength of our advocacy, and the impact of our progress, depends on the leadership and lived experience of members like you.

Working alongside the SGFP Executive, our three operational teams drive the priorities you’ve told us matter most:

• Tariff Team: Working to ensure fair compensation that reflects the full scope of family medicine
• Policy Team: Amplifying family doctors' voices with decision-makers
• Digital Health Team: Tackling technology barriers that affect patient care and workflow

These teams of family doctors lead critical initiatives that influence both our profession and the broader health system.

Current Opportunities for SGFP Members

• 1 Team Member position on the Policy Team (2-year term)
• 2 Team Member positions on the Tariff Team (2-year terms)
• 1 Team Member position on the Digital Health Team (1-year term)

Serving on these teams offers a direct, meaningful way to influence change beyond the annual Executive election. Your participation ensures that SGFP’s work reflects real clinical experience, real practice pressures, and real opportunities for improvement.

To Apply

Submit your application.

Application deadline: May 8. 

Shortlisted candidates will participate in a brief 15-20 minute interview.

I encourage all interested members to apply and be part of this journey. Your involvement matters, especially as we continue to push for meaningful action on compensation, administrative burden, and sustainable practice conditions for family doctors across Ontario.

Warm Regards,

Dr. Dave Barber, Chair, SGFP
