Canada’s primary care system is in crisis and the shortage of doctors is only one visible symptom. This talk draws on insights from social science to explore how policy choices, institutional cultures, and structural inequities have shaped the system we have today. It makes the case for increasing investments toward prevention and community-based care — including social prescribing, community health workers, and integrated social supports — as part of a broader vision for equitable, effective primary care.
