OntarioMD is offering training for primary care practices to administer COVID-19 vaccinations. Training sessions demonstrate how to access and use the provincial COVaxON Vaccination Management System. The COVaxON system enables the Ministry of Health, Vaccination Locations, and staff to collect COVID-19 vaccination data.

Dr. Toula Kourgiantakis from the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto is conducting a research study titled Examining Cannabis Use and Mental Health Concerns in Youth from the Perspectives of Youth, Parents, and Service Providers: A Community-Based Participatory Research Approach. 

The Ministry of Health has initiated an analysis of the current state and drivers of fax use to identify potential options for phasing out fax use in Ontario’s health system. As part of Phase 1: Current State Assessment,  there is an “Axe the Fax” Assessment Survey with a purpose to obtain input from a variety of stakeholders across the Ontario health sector to better understand the current state of fax use.

In 2017, AFHTO engaged in a strategic planning exercise that led to the development of a 3-year strategic plan with a shared vision: high quality, sustainable, team-based primary health care for all.

It is now 2019 - the final year of our strategic plan - and there’s significant change underway in Ontario as the health care system is restructured to deliver fully integrated, patient-centred care that’s co-designed by patients, families and caregivers alongside their health care providers. 

We’re pleased to introduce our new website, updated with a new look and layout. Now updated to become an even better resource to the public and members alike. Changes include:
