OCFP Board of Directors Vacancies

The Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) is inviting nominations for new members to join its Board of Directors.

Help make practicing better, champion the value of family physicians, and lead the way toward a stronger health care system in Ontario.

Serving on the Board of Directors of the OCFP is a meaningful opportunity to shape the future of family medicine, contribute to system-wide impact, and support family physicians at every stage of practice. This is a volunteer role.

Why Volunteer as a Board Director?

As a Board Director, you will:

• Influence the future of family medicine in Ontario by contributing to the OCFP’s mission and strategic priorities
• Support family physicians through leadership, advocacy, education, and research

We strongly encourage applications from individuals who bring diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences that reflect the communities served by family physicians across Ontario.
