“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” – W.B. Yeats

This Teacher’s Day, we celebrate and honour all our tutors — past and present — who have given their time, energy, and heart to the Family Medicine training programmes.

The excellence in Family Medicine education we enjoy today rests upon the foundation built through their tireless dedication. Beyond imparting knowledge, our tutors have kindled courage, confidence, and compassion in every one of us. They have walked with us through moments of doubt and discovery, shaping not only the Family Physicians we have become but also the future of our discipline.

As Family Medicine continues to evolve amidst uncertainties and challenges, we take heart from the strength of our shared past. Our tutors remain the steady hands and compassionate hearts that inspire motivation and build confidence. With the wisdom they have sown, we step forward with resilience and hope, ready to serve our patients and communities with excellence.

To all our tutors — thank you for lighting the fire that continues to inspire us, and for shaping the future of Family Medicine for generations to come!
