Toronto Conference 2019
Meet the Debaters
We will be holding an Oxford Style Debate on May 23, 2019. You don’t want to miss out as Team UK takes on Team Canada! The motion to be debated is: Be it resolved that from the perspective of family physicians/general practitioners, management of patients during cancer treatment and survivorship is just as important as management of patients with high prevalence conditions such as mental health issues and heart disease. Team UK will speak for the motion. Team Canada will speak against the motion.
