Abstract

An invitational meeting organized by the Centre for Rural Health Research con-vened to facilitate respectful dialogue with general surgeons in British Columbia; the objective was to clearly understand concerns and address questions around rural family physicians with enhanced surgical skills (FPESS). In particular, the meeting focused on interprofessional challenges that hinder the adoption of a network model between general surgeons and FPESS. This report summarizes the findings (n = 5) and recommendations (n = 8) made during the meeting. The meeting underscored the need for more thoughtful discussions to develop interprofessional trust and support between general surgeons and FPESS through an integrated health care system and proper networks.
