Opportunity to influence physician ongoing education -share your experience as a patient or caregiver from specific interactions in a focus group hosted by the Medical Council of Canada. Background:

The Medical Education team at the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) is seeking patient and caregiver participants to share their thoughts and opinions about survey questions in a virtual focus group setting.

The MCC is a national organization that strives to achieve the highest level of medical care in Canada through excellence in assessment of physicians. One of the assessments we offer to practicing physicians is a multi-source feedback tool called MCC 360. This tool evaluates physicians’ collaboration, communication, and professional behaviours in the workplace using feedback collected in survey responses from their patients, as well as, other physicians and co-workers such as nurses that they work with.

The MCC is interested in thoughts and opinions from patients and caregivers about the physicians that you interact with in the following two contexts:

· Episodic Care: As a patient, the doctor you see during a single encounter

§ in an emergency department setting

§ in a walk-in clinic setting

· Caregiver: As a caregiver who helps a patient provide feedback, or who provides your own feedback about a doctor

§ in a long-term care setting

§ in an intensive care setting

§ visiting a pediatrician with a child
