Professional Profile

Dr. Mark Nowaczynski was born in Montreal and educated in Quebec, Singapore, Kingston (B.Sc.), Vancouver (Ph.D., M.D.), and Toronto (C.C.F.P.). He closed his family practice in July 2007, and now spends all of his clinical time outside of the office setting caring for frail house-bound seniors in Toronto.

In 1998 he began to photograph this hidden and vulnerable population in order to raise awareness and advocate for change. His ongoing photo-documentary project has been profiled in national print, radio, and television media and is now the subject of the Gemini Award winning 55 minute National Film Board of Canada documentary film “House Calls”.

Working with an interdisciplinary group of community partners, he is part of a multi-disciplinary community-based team that promotes aging in place and improves the health and quality of life of seniors by providing ongoing home-based supportive, medical, and professional care.

An Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto, he is actively involved in teaching, training, and research on geriatric home-based primary care.
