Strengthening Research in Family Medicine

The ACFP collects and shares information on research projects that are well-grounded in, and relevant to family medicine and primary care, and works to highlight the value of research conducted with family physicians’ practice within their communities.

We aim to support family medicine research in Alberta by:

1. encouraging our members interest in conducting research
2. promoting their expertise and skills as researchers
3. communicating how they can contribute as sentinel practices to projects that are well grounded in family medicine, such as CPCSSN, TARRANT flu watch, etc.

We believe all our members, regardless of their research skill, have the ability and responsibility to meaningfully contribute to family medicine and primary care research projects being conducted in their practice community.
