In the interview, Ueli discussed the start of the Wonca tree idea and how it has developed over time, including reflections on its relevance to us as family medicine doctors.

Recorded on 22 January 2026. Dr Tara Kiran will set some context on the Canadian system and then review OurCare. OurCare is Canada’s largest public engagement initiative on the future of primary care, which has shaped policy direction in multiple provinces and informed Ontario’s Primary Care Act.
