To mitigate the consequences of social inequalities on health\, family p hysicians should detect patients suffering from those social inequalities\ , and adjust their medical interventions. Therefore\, family physicians ne ed to know their patient social status\, and to recognize deprived patient s. However\, little is known about how family physicians perceive deprivat ion and its influence on handling care management. Our study has shown tha t Swiss family physicians can perceive the various dimensions of patient s ocial status\, although heterogeneously\, according partly to their own ch aracteristics.   Thursday September 26\, 2013 From: 12:00-1:30 p.m. De partment of Family Medicine  5858 ch. de la Côte-des-Neiges\, 3rd floor\, suite 300   BRING YOUR LUNCH!  There will be light refreshments.
