CFPC Pride Stories Submission


The 2SLGBTQ+ Health Member Interest Group is inviting all CFPC members to submit their 2SLGBTQ+ health narratives, stories, art, and expressions for the third edition of CFPC Pride Stories. Sharing your experiences as 2SLGBTQ+ identifying health providers and/or as family doctors who provide care to 2SLGBTQ+ communities has never been more important. Your CFPC Pride Stories reflect the complex history, challenges, joy and future of 2SLGBTQ+ health. These stories are critical to breaking down barriers to primary care faced by 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada.

Examples of CFPC Pride Stories

  • A written or video reflection on providing care to 2SLGBTQ+ patients
  • A written or video reflection on being a 2SLGBTQ+ family physician or medical trainee in Canada
  • A written or video reflection on how to improve care for 2SLGBTQ+ communities where you work
  • Poetry
  • Fictional writing capturing the 2SLGBTQ+ primary health care experience
  • Visual art submissions (Paintings, drawings, comics, and photography)
  • Performance videos, including dance and theatrical expression
  • Original song or spoken word performance
