Our Mission at the Dufferin Area Family Health Team is to provide person-centered, dynamic and compassionate care. Working as a multidisciplinary team, connecting with other community organizations, and empowering each patient with the knowledge and tools to manage their health, all persons shall receive comprehensive health care. 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.

- Educating patients on health promotion and disease prevention
- Assisting the physician with management of complex patients

- Performing other duties within the competencies of a Physician Assistant.

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.
