Grants
OMF grant recipients
We would like to thank all those who applied for funding through the OMF grant program. The OMF received more than 60 exceptional submissions from across the province, encompassing a wide range of projects and initiatives with the goal of studying solutions to the growing issue of physician burnout.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the three recipients who have been selected to receive funding:
Dr. Ivers will train family physicians to act as peer guides to help their colleagues address pain points in their workflow and find ways to increase joy in their daily clinical practice.

Dr. Maggi will provide mindfulness training to physicians who work with equity deserving groups – communities that experience significant barriers in participating in society – or have formal roles in equity, diversity and inclusion. Mindfulness is the practice of living in the present moment, free of distractions and judgments.

The grants were made possible by a $150,000 donation from Dr.Bill, a medical billing platform backed by RBCx, to fund research to reduce barriers to equitable health care, specifically physician burnout.
These projects are expected to be completed within one year.
