The JCC Conference is designed to share the successes and challenges faced in JCC programs and quality improvement initiatives, with the goal of inspiring participants to become involved or support ongoing improvements in health care.
This will be an exciting event to inspire new ideas, foster collaboration, and promote ongoing advancements in health care. Join us as we share insights, spark conversations, and create a professional and engaging environment for all!
Funding and support from all the Joint Collaborative Committees enables programs and initiatives such as the Rural Coordination Centre of BC, Divisions of Family Practice, Facility Engagement, Physician Quality Improvement, Shared Care Projects and Communities of Practice, Practice Support Program and Doctors Technology Office to enhance patient care and improve the professional satisfaction of doctors in BC.

We acknowledge that the 2025 JCC Conference will take place on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples including the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations whose historical relationship with the land continues today.
Physicians and other health care partners who work in British Columbia are invited to attend the JCC Conference.
Through the JCCs, any practicing BC physician who attends the JCC Conference will receive support as follows:
Registration: The JCCs will cover all registration fees. There will be no payment required during the registration process. There will be limited space available.
Sessional Time: Sessional payment will be available for attending the FPSC Summit, SSC Symposium, and the JCC Showcase up to a maximum of seven (7) hours per day. Details on how to submit your sessional time will be provided closer to the event date.
Travel and Accommodation: Travel and accommodation expenses will be reimbursed by the JCCs in accordance with the JCC Conference Expense Guidelines.
For Divisions of Family Practice Attendees: Funding for participation is covered through each Division’s Collaboration Funding (including in the annual FPSC funding). This covers the costs for one executive director or staff lead and two family doctors to attend two provincial events per year. All expenses and sessional payments for the JCC Conference and FPSC Summit should be billed directly to your Division for reimbursement.
There is no charge to attend the JCC Conference, however, as a non-practicing BC Physician, you will not receive any additional funding to attend (travel costs, accommodation support, etc.) unless you are a confirmed speaker at the event.
Yes, you may choose to attend only one day of the conference and will still be eligible to receive sessional time and expense reimbursement for that day.
A discounted rate will be available for booking hotel accommodations at the Sheraton Wall Center. The discounted nightly rate will start at $339 CAD, plus applicable taxes and fees. Booking a hotel room at this discounted rate will become available when registration opens in 2025.
Please review the physician funding information, or email events@doctorsofbc.ca for any funding related questions.
After careful consideration, the FPSC has decided to reschedule the FPSC Summit and to host this event virtually in early 2026. This change was made to ensure as many family doctors and partners as possible can participate, regardless of travel limitations, scheduling conflicts, or cost constraints.
Although the FPSC Summit will not be part of the JCC Conference this year, family doctors are invited to attend the JCC Showcase on October 7, which will continue as planned. The organizing committee received hundreds of abstracts and primary care will be well-represented in the program.
On October 6, 2025, FPSC will hold an internal strategic planning workshop to discuss FPSC initiatives in the context of a changing primary care landscape in BC. Attendance at this event is by invitation only and will include FPSC Core members, Divisions of Family Practice, key partners organizations, and FPSC staff representation.
