The Patient Education Grants for Family Medicine Residents encourage family medicine residents to become involved in the planning and development of patient education. The grants support residents in doing projects focused on patient education and/or Choosing Wisely Canada recommendations during their training (e.g., research, developing learning tools) and in the creation and promotion of materials, tools, and presentations that specifically address gaps in patient education resources and update existing information.
