He is credited with defining the discipline as a distinct field of medicine, based on the knowledge gained by the physician’s long term relationship with patients and their families, familiarity with their life stories, and the trust that patients place in their physician over time. A world-renowned medical educator, Dr. McWhinney’s approach to health care is now the basic model used in the training of family physicians. Fundamental to this approach is the attainment of common ground between doctor and patient.</p> <p>A lovely quote found among Dr. McWhinney's writings:   "However powerful we are in our prime, our descent into powerlessness can be sudden and inexorable; we are fortunate indeed if we can find healers who can make our fall less terrifying and our landing not without some grace."</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="key-facts" class="section--padded"> <div class="container"> <h2 class="text--centered">Key Facts</h2> <div class="grid grid--flex"> <div class="grid__col--sm-12 grid__col--md-4 cards cards__key_facts"> <p style="margin-bottom:11px;">Researched many topics of importance to family medicine including the impact of patient-centred care, the role of the family physicians in palliative care, and the effects of patient mobility of continuity of care</p></div> <div class="grid__col--sm-12 grid__col--md-4 cards cards__key_facts"> <p style="margin-bottom:11px;">Founded the Graduate Studies Program in Family Medicine at The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario</p></div> <div class="grid__col--sm-12 grid__col--md-4 cards cards__key_facts"> <p style="margin-bottom:11px;">Established the Centre for Studies in Family Medicine, which is regarded as the premier research centre in Family Medicine in Canada</p></div> <div class="grid__col--sm-12 grid__col--md-4 cards cards__key_facts"> <p style="margin-bottom:11px;">Recognized as an outstanding educator by the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges</p></div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="timeline-introduction" class="section--padded"> <div class="container"> <h3 class="text--centered">Professional timeline</h3> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__col--sm-12 grid__col--md-4 grid__col--offset-right-md-2"> <div class="timeline-introduction__text"> <h4>Impact on lives today</h4> <p>Every medical student who trains in family medicine today can feel the impact of Dr. McWhinney’s tireless advocacy. Against the rising tide of specialization, he championed the acceptance of family medicine as a unique field with a distinct body of medical knowledge. Decades after Dr. McWhinney’s pioneering building, family medicine is a robust academic discipline with distinct clinical methods and training programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
