About
Who is the AFMC?
Founded in 1943, the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC) represents Canada’s 21 faculties of medicine and is the voice of academic medicine in the country. AFMC has been convening yearly since at least 1943. The importance of meeting to advance the collective agenda of academic medicine has always been a core purpose of the association. ICAM is the extension of this long standing tradition.
