For Episode 11, we sat down with Dr. Melanie Bechard (she/her) who is a pediatric emergency physician and an Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa. She is currently the Chair of Canadian Doctors for Medicare, a nonpartisan organization of physicians advocating for an equitable, evidence-based, and sustainable health care system. In this episode we talk about the issues facing the Canadian healthcare system, limitations that come with privatization, and potential pathways to explore to alleviate the strain primary care physicians are facing.
We would like to thank Kameela Alibhai for founding the FMWC podcast and leading the production of all the episodes to date. The podcast committee has lost an exceptional leader, but we wish her the very best as she starts her journey as a surgical resident in Toronto!
