UofT DFCM Patient Newsletter/Education Repository
The UofT DFCM’s Quality Program Committee is putting together a repository of newsletters and patient education resources to allow different teaching sites to share resources. Currently, there are some resources on clinical topics like cancer screening, measles, and Lyme disease, as well as non-clinical items like avoiding walk-in clinics. They hope to eventually grow the repository through submissions from different sites.
