Cover Image

The hidden curriculum tends to place family medicine at the bottom of a metaphorical Jenga tower, with many deeming the discipline to be less important than others. However, as Dr Sarah Fraser indicates in her editorial (page 450), family medicine is not the bottom of the tower, it is the base. This month’s cover image reflects how family medicine is the foundation that supports the entire medical structure. While the breadth of their profession can be likened to a double-edged sword (page 490), family physicians’ ability to see the big picture allows them to provide excellent patient-centred care.

Image de la page couverture

Le curriculum caché tend à situer la médecine familiale au bas d’une métaphorique tour de Jenga, et certains jugent la discipline moins importante que d’autres. Par ailleurs, comme l’explique la Dre Sarah Fraser dans son éditorial (page 451), la médecine familiale n’est pas au bas de la tour, elle est la base. L’image de la page couverture du mois reflète la façon dont la médecine familiale est la fondation qui soutient l’ensemble de la structure médicale. Alors que l’amplitude de leur profession peut être comparée à une arme à deux tranchants (page 490), la capacité des médecins de famille de voir l’ensemble du portrait leur permet de prodiguer d’excellents soins centrés sur le patient.
