Upcoming student projects for 2008-2009
Distributed Medical Education (DME)
At the 2008 CFMS AGM, the following resolution was passed regarding issues surrounded Distributed Medical Education:
- WHEREAS distributed medical education is being increasingly employed as a central feature of program design in Canada’s Medical Schools and the CFMS has guidance for the examination of DME through resolution BAGM-08-19,
BIRT the CFMS undertake a "student-centred" review of DME in Canada that focuses on student views about the successes and challenges of DME.
BIFRT the CFMS develop a set of parameters/guidelines for the implementation of DME that serve the best interests of students and Canadians.
The VP Medical Education will be undertaking a "student-centred" DME Review, with focus groups at each medical school across Canada. The goal is to create a Membership Survey in the spring, and the creation of a policy paper by Summer 2009.
Student Initiative Grants
- SIGs were created at the CFMS AGM 2007, in order for the CFMS to fund local initiatives at Canadian Medical schools.
