Annual Dr. Ian McWhinney Lecture Series

Thank you for joining us to celebrate the third annual Dr. Ian McWhinney Lecture Series.

The Department of Family Medicine invites you to the annual Dr. Ian McWhinney Lecture Series on September 20, 2017 in Room 1150 of the Western Centre for Public Health and Family Medicine.

larry-green_186_279.jpgWe are pleased to announce Dr. Larry Green, Professor of Family Medicine at The University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Epperson Zorn Chair for Innovation in Family Medicine and Primary Care, as the 2017 Dr. Ian McWhinney Lecture Series speaker.

Dr. Green's career has spanned the period in which family medicine successfully emerged from general practice. He remains enthusiastic about the further use of “recently developed” family medicine infrastructures and systems to collaborate with public health and mental health enterprises to contribute to achieving better health care that is affordable and improves health.

The title of Dr. Green's lecture is Will People have a Personal Physician Anymore?
