Welcome to McMaster Family Medicine Research

Research from the Department of Family Medicine continues to generate findings that address important primary care topics and leads to improvements in primary health care delivery.  Our research is regularly recognized with local, provincial, and national awards for excellence.

The Department’s research interest groups continue to demonstrate innovation and productivity. The groups provide a mechanism for members to collaborate and share skill sets and ideas. Our research
interest groups include primary care medical education, palliative care, elder care, quality of care in family practice, postpartum care, maternity care, medication use in seniors (TIPPS), and cardiovascular health. The Department also continues to conduct research in the areas of innovative e-health technologies, patient self management, team building, international health, and long
term care.

There is renewed emphasis in our Department on collaboration with other departments across McMaster as well as extending our collaborations across Canada and the world. We continue to have a very strong and well-supported research culture, financially viable infrastructure and local, provincial, national and international recognition for its research productivity and innovation.
