Medical Student Scholarship recipients FMF 2016

Every year at Family Medicine Forum (FMF) the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) recognizes outstanding students who have demonstrated a commitment to a career in family medicine with Medical Student Scholarships of $10,000 each. Each of Canada’s 17 medical schools nominates one student in their second-last year of undergraduate study for these scholarships.

The CFPC also awards one Indigenous Medical Student Scholarship to a top First Nations, Métis, or Inuit medical student in Canada who has shown an interest in or a commitment to a career in family medicine.

These scholarships were presented at FMF 2016 on Thursday, November 10th, following the keynote address by the Honourable Jane Philpott, federal Minister of Health.
