CFMS COVID-19 Community Care Initiative Grants
The CFMS is proud to announce that we are supporting 20 different medical student community care projects through our COVID-19 community care initiative grants. These grassroots initiatives are taking place across the country and we look forward to continuing to see medical students make a huge difference with their work.
Medical student projects will be using the hashtag #Medicalstudentscare to denote their work. Watch for this on social media and help us spread the word!

You may have heard emergency relief measures that were recently passed by the federal and provincial governments to help address the economic hardships that many Canadians are feeling at the moment. We have compiled a summary of applicable measures that may impact Canadian medical students.
