Description of the organization's activities:
The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada is the national voice for the 17 Canadian medical faculties. In its advocacy role, AFMC actively engages government and key stakeholders on public policy debates related to health, medical education and research funding, issues on health human resources and medical education. AFMC also manages a rigorous system of accreditation at both the undergraduate and continuing medical education levels for all 17 Canadian faculties of medicine. The Canadian Post-M.D. Education Registry (CAPER) is the active data-gathering and research arm of the organization with an interest in the post-M.D. clinical education of physicians in Canada. Finally, AFMC's Social Accountability Initiative (SAI) acknowledges and promotes the role of faculties of medicine in Canada in ensuring access to and quality of the system in order to meet the health needs of the population through interprofessional models of education and care delivery, by addressing issues of professionalism and engaging with other key stakeholders in the areas of public health, Aboriginal health and end-of-life palliative care issues and with young leaders to look at what the health care system will be like in the future. AFMC also recently received funding from Health Canada to conduct Phase II of a project called the Future of Medical Education in Canada which will look at postgraduate medical education.
