Perkin Family Physician of the Year Award</a> recognizes family physicians who provide exceptional patient care and improve the health of communities and well-being of society.</p> <p>A faculty member of the department of family and community medicine at 91Թ for 15 years, Handford has mentored students from across Canada in a highly-sought elective course on inner city family medicine, influencing many to choose a career in family medicine.</p> <p>“Dr. Handford treats his patients with equal respect and dignity,” says Dr. Lauren Welsh, a former trainee and now colleague. “His ability to build relationships with his patients is core to his ability to deliver compassionate and patient-centred care.”</p> <p>Renowned for his collaborations with primary care providers, community partners and acute care stakeholders to improve care systems for patients and their caregivers, Handford also led the development of a clinical practice guideline for the use of buprenorphine/naloxone as an opioid maintenance treatment, the first of its kind in Canada. Despite his many accomplishments, says Dr. <strong>Karen Weyman</strong>, the site chief at St. Michael’s Hospital Department of Family and Community Medicine, “Dr. Handford remains a humble and generous colleague who consistently demonstrates an exemplary level of thoughtfulness, collegiality and professionalism to which we can all aspire.”&nbsp;</p> <h3><a href="https://www.dfcm.utoronto.ca/news/dfcms-dr-curtis-handford-named-ontario-family-physician-year">Read the Temerty Faculty of Medicine story</a></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Temerty Faculty of Medicine</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 04 Dec 2020 17:42:26 +0000 lanthierj 167747 at
