Circle of Impact
Recognizing Family Medicine's Ripple Effect
The BC College of Family Physicians is proud to evolve our peer recognition program from the College Coin to the Circle of Impact, a name that better reflects the expansive influence family physicians have in their communities.
My Family Doctor Award
The BCCFP My Family Doctor Award provides British Columbians with the opportunity to recognize and honour their own family doctors, celebrating the doctor-patient relationship that supports good health. Five family physicians are selected annually – one from each geographic health region.
BC Family Physician of the Year
This annual peer-nominated award recognizes a family physician who provides exemplary care to patients and takes part in activities that contribute to excellence in family medicine.
