You’re on your way to building your career as a physician — and the CMA can help you with benefits and discounts, learning and advocacy opportunities, resources and more.
Not familiar with the CMA? We represent physicians and physicians-in-training across Canada. We advocate on issues that matter to the profession and the health of Canadians, ensuring the physician perspective is always heard. Our goal is to drive positive change within the profession and Canada’s health care system.
We look forward to supporting you through your years in residency, into practice and beyond. If you have questions or comments, we’d love to hear from you.
