The canadian association of internes and residents committee on family medicine

Family medicine residents across Canada represent a unique body of physicians with exciting and different training experiences. Some 30 residents from each of the 16 university-administered Canadian family medicine programs meet twice annually as a subcommittee of the Canadian Association of Internes and Residents (CAIR), to exchange ideas and discuss issues of relevance to family medicine programs. The CAIR Committee on Family Medicine (CAIR-CFM) has direct liaison with the College of Family Physicians of Canada through its Board of Directors and various educational committees. CAIR-CFM has also been actively involved in other independent projects directly affecting the training of family medicine residents, including a review of every family medicine program, accreditation of programs, and policy recommendations.
