AFMC manages the national repository of information on faculties of medicine across Canada. With this data, AFMC is the source of information regarding the training of physicians in Canada. We are in a unique position to assist provincial and federal governments in providing recommended solutions to address the current shortages facing the physician workforce in Canada.
With over 40 years of data holdings on medical education, AFMC provides expertise in the analysis and interpretation of data through longitudinal studies and trend analysis.
Data is collected across the continuum of medical education from medical school aspirants to postgraduate trainees. In addition, AFMC’s Data and Information Services team is responsible for the distribution and collection of annual surveys.
