World Family Doctor Day

May 16, 2025

May 19 is World Family Doctor Day. The College recognizes the compassion and excellent care that Nova Scotia’s family medicine specialists provide to patients throughout the province. The College acknowledges the essential role that family physicians play in our health care system.

The College acknowledges that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship. We also acknowledge that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years, and we honour and offer gratitude to those ancestors.
