Responding to the BMSAC’s Calls to Action

AFMC is working in partnership with The Black Medical Students’ Association of Canada (BMSAC) and the Network for the Advancement of Black Learners (N-ABL) to gather information about how Canada’s 17 Faculties of Medicine are responding to the BMSAC’s Calls to Action released in June of 2020, and to better understand the current national landscape of anti-racism initiatives and support for Black students and learners in medical education.

Ontario is home to seven of Canada’s 18 medical schools and accounts for 37% of residency positions in the country.

The Ontario government recently announced changes to the current resident match process in that province. New for this year, only Canadian medical graduates (CMGs) and international medical graduates (IMGs) who completed two years of high school in Ontario will be eligible for the first round of the resident match into Ontario Faculties of Medicine.

This was a government decision and was not an anticipated change.

AFMC continues to monitor the situation.
