Posted on May 30, 2012

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.

The land from which the Joint Collaborative Committees—a partnership between Doctors of BC and the BC government—operate and support physicians is the traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, whose historical relationship with the land continues today.

For the Joint Collaborative Committees, acknowledging the land is an expression of cultural humility that involves recognizing our commitment to support the provision of culturally safe care to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people in BC.
