Abstract
In 2019, a team composed of medical and health economics educators and a family medicine trainee from the Department of Community and Family Medicine, Fukushima Medical University, and the School of International and Public Policy, Hitotsubashi University, Japan, embarked on a study tour to Toronto, Canada, a leading country in family medicine education and training. During this tour, the team visited the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto and affiliated hospitals to observe family medicine training in practice, which included video review and feedback for trainee development. In addition, they visited a practice attached to a legal clinic, with subsequent learning about the medico-legal interface and responsibilities of Canadian family doctors. The team gained first-hand insight into family medicine training along with an understanding of a healthcare system that values primary care.
