What is the Spring General Meeting?
The Spring General Meeting (SGM) is the CFMS board’s opportunity to update membership on all the incredible work and accomplishments of the term, engage on issues of importance to medical learners, and identify opportunities to continued value building. At the same time, it is the membership’s opportunity to engage directly with the board, create dialogue on issues known and unknown, and pass resolutions to chart the direction of the organization. Attend to not only learn more about your organization all in one place, but also to collaborate with your peers around the country to push medical education in Canada forward.

Resolutions
SGM 2024 Resolutions:
Resolutions must be received by the CFMS SGM Chair, by e-mail at resolutions@cfms.org on or before Thursday March 28th, 2024 at 12:00 am midnight EST to be pre-circulated to SGM delegates via our website. Additional written resolutions may be tabled if emailed to the SGM Chair by Thursday April 4th, 2024 at 6:00pm EST.
Based on the total number of resolutions received, there is no guarantee that resolutions will be given agenda time at the SGM but every reasonable effort will be made to do so. Business will end promptly as scheduled in the agenda, and remaining resolutions will be referred to the CFMS Board for consideration.
Please note that, as determined by the General Assembly at SGM 2014, any proposed motion that includes spending of $1000 or more must be submitted to the CFMS at least 14 days in advance of SGM, i.e. by Thursday, March 28th, 2024 at 12:00 am midnight EST.
