MDPAC supports the provision of publicly-funded psychotherapy by physicians and the preservation of such, where it still exists in Canada.

This is especially important for complex cases such as eating disorders, trauma, and others where medical knowledge and/or the concomitant administration of medications is beneficial.

MDPAC is proud to have representation on the Committee to Preserve Publicly-Funded Physician-delivered Psychotherapy, which seeks to address the Ontario Ministry of Health's Proposal to limit psychotherapy by physicians.
