On December 6, the former General Practice Service Committee (GPSC) announced that their name had changed to Family Practice Service Committee (FPSC) to “reflect [the] general shift away from the term “general practice,” which carries connotations of rotating internships, in favour of “family practice,” which reflects the recognized expertise of family physicians.”
This name change is a small but important step in recognizing the value family doctors offer through coordinated, continuous, relationship-based care. We look forward to working with the FPSC to strengthen full-service family practice in BC.
