AFMC contributes to addressing priority health concerns of the community and population we serve.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined the Social Accountability of Medical Schools as “the obligation to direct their education, research and service activities towards addressing the priority health concerns of the community, region, and/or nation they have a mandate to serve. The priority health concerns are to be identified jointly by governments, health care organizations, health professionals, and the public.”
Canadian Medical schools have an important role to play to ensure that the highly valued Canadian health care system continues to provide the necessary access and quality to meet the needs of the population.
The following outlines a set of principles by which Canadian medical schools should function. These principles will allow medical schools to identify where they stand with respect to responding to the needs of society and to continuously strive to ensure that they are doing so.
