We’re grateful to the @cfpc-cmfc.bsky.social for recognizing the unique challenges facing rural and remote communities across Canada. SRPC looks forward to working together to support rural physicians, strengthen rural health care, and improve access to care across Canada.
Time away from practice is essential to safe, sustainable care. Rural physicians should not have to sacrifice rest because coverage falls short. Supporting rural care means building reliable systems around the people who provide it.

Not all physicians work in large hospitals. Some deliver babies, take shifts in the ER, and see patients in clinic — sometimes all in one day. Some care for entire communities.
