Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the Family Medicine Summit Planning Committee, welcome to the 2019 Family Medicine Summit, (previously the ASA or Annual Scientific Assembly) in Banff, Alberta! The Planning Committee, with several new members, is honoured to present a refreshed look and feel for our annual ‘Summit’ and welcomes you to the grand Rimrock Resort Hotel for two and a half days of continuing professional development, fellowship, and an opportunity to unwind in Alberta’s stunning Rocky Mountains!

We are very proud to announce that, for the second year in a row, we have broken the ACFP’s attendance record for this conference with more than 410 family physicians, family medicine residents, and medical students in attendance! This noteworthy statistic demonstrates the value and necessity of our conference, and for the opportunity for family docs to gather together and learn from one another, support one another, and have fun together!

On behalf of the ACFP membership, we express thanks to the knowledgeable and skilled speakers for agreeing to share their expertise and offer their time and effort to our annual conference.

We have moved the Sponsor Showcase to the Hawthorn BC rooms, and invite you to stop by and visit with all the generous supporters of the Summit. Please see page 30 to view a list of who is participating.

We proudly host the family friendly Research Poster Presentations & Summit Welcome Reception on Friday, March 1st, complimentary for everyone. Drop by to celebrate the outstanding research projects that are on display and enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and a beverage while connecting with colleagues. And, don’t forget to cast a ballot for your favorite movie to be shown at Family Movie Night in Salon A/B/C on Saturday night. Ballots are available at the Registration Desk.

Following the conclusion of daily sessions on Friday and Saturday, relax and mingle with colleagues over refreshments in the Doctors’ Lounge at Diva’s. Simply show your nametag to receive the daily specials.

Once again, thank you for choosing to attend the Summit, and we wish you an most enjoyable conference. Welcome home to your Summit!

Carolyn Nowry, MD, CCFP FMS Planning Committee Chair

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the ACFP’s Board of Directors, welcome to the 2019 Family Medicine Summit!

While we strive to present a conference for our membership that provides high quality continuing professional development from skilled, expert presenters, our goal is to also create great learning and rejuvenating experiences that are unique to Alberta. As a result, our event is ever-changing and evolving just as the unique needs of family medicine and primary care advances.

This year, the Annual Scientific Assembly is progressing into the Family Medicine Summit and it is our hope that the benefits of this and future Summits will be as impactful and vital as registrants have found the past 63 ASAs. Once again, due to the thoughtful insight and foresight of your colleagues, the 2019 Summit Planning Committee, we are proud to have reached another registration sell-out.

Thank you for supporting this important event, and I, together with my fellow Board Members, look forward to connecting, learning and celebrating with you during the Summit!

Vishal Bhella, MD, CCFP President, Alberta College of Family Physicians

Welcome to the ACFP’s 2019 Family Medicine Summit

Welcome From the ACFP President

FAMILY MEDICINE SUMMIT MANIFESTOHosted by the Alberta College of Family Physicians (ACFP), the Family Medicine Summit (Summit) is recognized as Alberta’s premier conference for family physicians. The conference offers continuing professional development and an opportunity for family physicians to network with colleagues to share best practices in primary care. Education for Family Docs by Family Docs!

We believe in:

• Developing a highly relevant continuing professional development (CPD) program that is evidence based, clinically practical, and provides take away lessons that family physicians can immediately incorporate into their practice.

• Having the courage to offer timely, cutting edge content that encompasses emerging, changing, and, at times challenging, learning needs. The Summit program focusses on the perceived and unperceived learning needs of the ACFP membership and provides valuable solutions.

• Securing engaging, expert presenters to deliver practice-changing education that challenges family physicians to do better.

• Creating an atmosphere of collegiality, trust, and inclusiveness (clinically and socially), where attendees can learn, connect, and relax with each other.

• Delivering an interactive and fun conference that registrants look forward to and feel like they are coming home!

CPD Credits & Linking Learning exercises

Summit participants may elect to use this program as part of a self-study learning activity. The College of Family Physicians has a framework for you to build on this learning experience, allowing you to earn additional Mainpro+ certified credits. For more information visit:

Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional TerritoryWe acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands, referred to as Treaty 7 Territory and that the Town of Banff and all the people here are beneficiaries of this peace and friendship treaty. Treaty 7 encompasses the traditional territories of numerous Indigenous Peoples, including the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), the Siksika, the Piikuni, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina, Métis and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, including Chiniki, Bearpaw, and Wesley First Nations, who have called this area home for many generations. We acknowledge the past, present, and future generations who help us steward this land, as well as honour and celebrate this place.

Patients and their family physicians remain an untapped resource, with potential to revolutionize how errors and/or close calls in healthcare are addressed and exemplary services and processes are promoted.We need to learn: (1) what happened? (2) why did it happen? (3) what can be learned? (4) what needs to be done to prevent it happening again?

At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees will:

1. Have watched Falling Through the Cracks: Greg’s Story, a film which depicts Greg Price’s journey navigating a disconnected health system (30 min)

Older adults are predisposed to frailty – a state of vulnerability that increases risk of adverse events like falls, hospitalizations, and death. Frailty is associated with high costs, and with more individuals surviving into a later life, there will be greater system-wide demands. Conceptualization of frailty as a multidimensional chronic condition presents an opportunity for a comprehensive primary care approach to frailty, and primary care providers needs to be supported in this endeavour with innovative system redesign. At the conclusion of this session, participants will have:

1. An increased awareness and knowledge of frailty2. Practical tools for frailty identification in primary care3. A team-based approach to frailty assessment and management
