In an effort to address the high demand for endoscopies in their community, in July 2011, a group of general surgeons in Langley initiated a trial of group medical visits. Group medical visits are included in the Practice Support Program (PSP) for specialist physicians with the learning sessions funded by the Specialist Services Committee.
The decision to try group visits followed from one of the surgeons, Dr Scott Cowie, learning about the practice from his wife, a family physician.
