Medical Education

The Future of Medical Education in Canada (FMEC)

Canada's medical education system plays a foundational role in equipping physicians with the skills they will ultimately bring forward to the people and communities they serve. Although the medical education curriculum is constantly adapting to societal change, there has not been a recent comprehensive review of these changes in light of major societal changes. This project will bring together key stakeholders in medical education to undertake a comprehensive review of the current status of medical education in Canada. The review will also encompass international comparisons. Recognizing the significant role medical education plays in equipping learners with skills, this project will lay the foundation for an ongoing process to ensure that the curriculum in Canadian faculties of medicine is well aligned with societal needs.
