Hello CFMS/FEMC Alumni - We want to hear from you!
Alumni are one of the most important parts of the CFMS/FEMC; it’s the passion, perseverance and vision of our alumni that have built the foundation for what makes our current initiatives possible.It’s amazing to see how the activities of the CFMS/FEMC have developed over the years in representing the needs of Canadian medical students in medical education and post-graduate training issues, building global health initiatives, and advocating for accessibility in medical school tuition fees, just to name a few.While our organization has made huge strides, the core issues that were the driving force behind the creation of the CFMS/FEMC continue to be a focus of many of our projects; a legacy our alumni have helped to preserve and move forward.
Even after moving on to post-graduate medical training and careers as physicians, CFMS/FEMC alumni continue to give back through contributions to our annual publication, the CFMS/FEMC Annual Review, speaking engagements at our Federal Lobby Day, and contributions to our Institutional Memory Project in creating our organizational history timeline.Their contributions to our latest Annual Review are posted here, and you can see the results of alumni contributions to the the Institutional Memory Project in the History section of our website.If you look at our History section, you’ll notice there are still quite a few gaps which we need your help to fill, see Ways to Get Involved as a CFMS/FEMC Alumnus below.
We love hearing from our alumni, so please contact us with any questions or just to keep in touch and say hello!

•Contribute to the CFMS/FEMC Institutional Memory Project
The Institutional Memory Project, initiated in 2009/10, is dedicated to strengthening our organizational history to ensure future projects are rooted in our past successes and that we learn from our challenges.To date, many of our Past-Presidents have helped give context to our current issues by providing us with a short summary of the major accomplishments and issues the organization faced during their term.These summaries have been linked to the History section of our website as a resource for our members and for our future executive.There are still many gaps in our timeline, and we would love to hear from Past-Presidents who we’ve been unable to contact, or other Executive members; our goal is to have all years filled.
•Contribute your skills and ideas to any of the initiatives you see on our website
