%X This quarter¡¯s issue of the Canadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy is a dedicated special issue to primary care in respiratory care. For this issue we have curated a rich variety of research articles and commentary concerning primary care in Canada and globally. The Canadian Medical Association describes primary care as ¡°consist(ing) of first-contact assessment of a patient and the provision of continuing care for a wide range of health concerns. The scope of primary care includes the diagnosis, treatment and management of health problems; prevention and health promotion; and ongoing support, with family and community intervention where needed¡± [1].

And respiratory therapists and other respiratory care practitioners are no exception
