Finding safe harbour: a conversation with Dr. Tom Freeman
Episode 82
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
This year – 2026 – marks the centenary of Dr. Ian McWhinney’s birth. Ian McWhinney is considered the “father of family medicine” in Canada and founded the first academic Department of Family Medicine in Canada at Western University in 1970. Join CFP Associate Editor Dr. David Ponka and Editor Dr. Nick Pimlott as they interview Dr. Tom Freeman, Professor Emeritus at Western University to discuss an article in the January edition of CFP which they co-authored with Tom entitled “Finding safe harbour: reassessing 9 principles of family medicine in difficult times” (https://www.cfp.ca/content/72/1/20). Tom, David and Nick discuss Tom’s first encounter with Ian McWhinney as a medical student and their long working relationship together; the launch of a new series in CFP entitled “Foundations for Tomorrow” reinterpreting McWhinney’s 9 principles for our current challenging times; and our partnership with the National Gallery of Canada to bring these principles to life on the journal’s covers from the Gallery’s extensive archival collection (https://www.cfp.ca/content/72/1/8).
