Loh discusses the importance of family medicine in Canada. He states that even as his career path veered toward public health, he maintained a connection to primary care for almost a decade, doing locum work and covering urgent care shifts whenever he could. He loved the opportunity to pitch in on the front lines, to witness on the ground not only the challenges being faced by patients in the communities that he served, but also the everyday miracles his colleagues were still quietly performing despite their ever growing practice burdens. The desire to maintain that connection to family medicine also manifested in his continued contributions to the College.
