What Is New? The top 10 research studies that will impact clinical practice for family physicians
Wendy V. Norman, MD, CCFP, FCFP, DTM&H, MHSc, Vancouver, BC; Martin Dawes, MD, MB, BS, DRCOG, FRCGP, Vancouver, BC; Richard H. Glazier, MD, MPH, Toronto, ON; David White, MD, CCFP, FCFP, Toronto, ON
In a repeat of hugely successful presentations from the past two years, three outstanding speakers will present the top 10 studies clinically relevant to family physicians from among over 500 presented at the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) conference. Three family physician researchers will discuss what presentations they found most meaningful for their own practices and what they think every practising family physician should know. Each speaker will outline three or four studies, emphasizing what is new, why it is important, and how it can change practice. The focus will be on problems that are common and important in the family medicine setting. Copies of the original abstracts and presentations will be available. NAPCRG is the premier international forum for communicating new knowledge in primary care; this presentation will showcase the best of NAPCRG for a clinical audience.

Dangerous Ideas Soapbox
Wendy V. Norman, MD, CCFP, FCFP, MHSc, Vancouver, BC
The Dangerous Ideas Soapbox is modeled on the wildly popular session offered by the Society of Academic Primary Care, UK. It offers a platform for FMF innovators to share an important idea that is not being heard but needs to be heard in the family medicine community. A dangerous idea could be controversial, completely novel blue-sky thinking, or something that challenges current thinking. But it must also demonstrate a commitment to moving the idea forward–to making a difference. Each speaker will be given three minutes. Proposals should explain the idea, its novelty/creativity, why it is dangerous (what is the challenge?), and why it matters. Reviewers will consider the novelty of the idea-the more dangerous the better! Most of the session will be devoted to giving the audience the opportunity to challenge and critique the speakers, with a final vote to decide the most potent dangerous idea.
