We are the national voice of Canadian rural physicians.
The Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC) is the national voice of Canadian rural physicians. Founded in 1992, the SRPC’s mission is championing rural generalist medical care through education, collaboration, advocacy, and research.
CHAMPIONING CHANGE FOR RURAL HEALTH
Addressing the Rural Physician Shortage
The rural physician shortage is leaving families without care, forcing many to travel far or go without essential care.
Our Vision
Excellent health care close to home for all rural Canadians.
Our Mission
Championing rural generalist medical care through education, collaboration, advocacy and research.
Our Goals
- Membership growth and engagement
- Enhancing rural generalist education

While access to resources and services might be limited in rural settings, the ability to deliver high quality care should not be.

Testimonials
“I’ve been with the SRPC since medical school, and over the years as a student, resident, and now a physician on the board, I’ve realized that the SRPC offers a genuine network and honesty. It’s something I haven’t found in any other medical organization I’ve been part of.”
Dr. Paul Dhillon
Rural Family and Emergency Medicine physician

You’re supported by like-minded people who encourage your ideas and help fuel your passion—whether it’s advocating for more healthcare professionals in rural areas or finding solutions to rural healthcare barriers.
