• SPRING GENERAL MEETING

  • What is the Spring General Meeting?

    The Spring General Meeting (SGM) is the CFMS board’s opportunity to update membership on all the incredible work and accomplishments of the term, engage on issues of importance to medical learners, and identify opportunities to continued value building. At the same time, it is the membership’s opportunity to engage directly with the board, create dialogue on issues known and unknown, and pass resolutions to chart the direction of the organization. Attend to not only learn more about your organization all in one place, but also to collaborate with your peers around the country to push medical education in Canada forward.

    Resolutions must be received by the CFMS SGM Chair, by e-mail at resolutions@cfms.org on or before Saturday April 4th, 2026 at 12:00 am midnight EST to be pre-circulated to SGM delegates via our website.
