  • CFMS Member Schools &

    Their Representatives

    CFMS currently has 16 member schools. Students attending medical school at these member schools are CFMS members. Students attending a Canadian medical school that is not a CFMS member school have the option to become an individual CFMS member. For more information on individual membership please email the CFMS office: administrative@cfms.org

    Medical student societies of the CFMS Member Schools are each represented by two CFMS Reps and the Medical Society President, who are responsible for attending the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Spring General Meeting (SGM). They maintain contact with each other and Board members throughout the year. Decisions are carried out by vote with each institution receiving three votes, with the exception of Le Centre de formation médicale du Nouveau Brunswick, who receives two votes and each Board member receiving one. Medical student societies commonly send more than two representatives to participate in CFMS meetings and activities.
