Our programs augment current services in our community and also provide opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching and learning.

Through the integration of Physician Assistant’s at the Dufferin Area Family Health Team, we improve the quality of care through enhanced access to medical services in a timely manner (particularly through same-day or next-day appointments), decrease wait times to see the physician, and create more time for the physician to devote to patients with complex medical issues.

All acts are conducted under the direction and supervision of a registered Physician, and in accordance with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario’s policy on delegation.

The Physician Assistant (PA) reports to, and is responsible to, the Executive Director.
