One word for family medicine on Family Doctor Day

April 2015 Young Doctors Movements

March, 2015

The #1WordforFamilyMedicine initiative is multinational and has reached six of seven (soon to be all seven) WONCA regions to include over 35 countries. We have asked FPs/GPs to tell us in one (1) word "What is your favorite part of Family Medicine/General Practice?" WIth these responses I have made images representing each country (with input and suggestions from local colleagues).

Basically what I am suggesting, is for our international colleagues to use their country's image on their social media sites (ie as their Facebook profile photo for the day). Not every country will have an image by FFD so a generic image will have to be selected (a map or the FDD flyer).

Above are some examples of various images that I have created already. To see an online interactive map of all the images and the countries that have participated to date go here.

All my best,
