My Family Doctor Award
Recognizing exceptional family physicians through the voices of their patients
For communities across the province, family physicians are more than just medical professionals. Family doctors foster long-term relationships, enhancing patient outcomes and trust in the health care system. They are the first point of contact for most people with health concerns and play a vital role in preventive care, early diagnosis, and chronic disease management.
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.
Nomination Criteria
- Open to all British Columbians to nominate their family physician
- Five recipients selected annually (one from each health region)
- Nominations celebrate the doctor-patient relationship and exceptional care
