John M. Maxted- Keynote Speaker
John is a retired family doctor who received his MD from the University of Ottawa, family medicine certification and fellowship from The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), and MBA from Rotman at the University of Toronto.
John loved practicing family medicine and did so comprehensively for 46 years. By integrating this with numerous other opportunities in his career as a family doctor, he opened his world to an exciting menu of new experiences in the leadership and management of regional and national healthcare as well as teaching. After practicing for 19 years in a rural Southwestern Ontario town, having become Chief of Staff in Chatham while obtaining his MBA, he moved on to Chief of Staff at Kitchener’s Grand River Hospital, VP of Professional Affairs for a London- based national homecare company, Associate Executive Director for Health & Public Policy at the CFPC, ending his career as Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and Academic Chief at the Markham Family Medicine Teaching Unit. His insights about his varied and engaging career, why he did what he did, what influenced his choices, and how much he enjoyed them, are included in his story: To be a Family Doctor.... And More Than That!
John’s story is an enthusiastic journey of discovery that allowed him to be the kind of family doctor he wanted to be. Recognizing many of his colleagues question their own career choices in medicine, he wrote this to inspire other family doctors to pursue careers just as exciting and enjoyable as his own, but of their own making. And all because we are family doctors!
