Medical Students Special Interest Group
The CSAM-SMCA Student Interest Group (SIG) is for Canadian medical students who want to advance their understanding of addiction medicine. The group builds on standard medical school training to enable students to learn more about addiction medicine as a career, offer educational opportunities and offers members the opportunity to connect with peers and mentors in the Canadian addiction medicine community. The group was created by and for Canadian medical students, and is free to join.
UPCOMING SIG SESSION
CSAM-SMCA Special Interest Group (SIG) for Medical Students, Residents and Learners in Other Health Professions periodically hosts virtual learning events to provide a forum to learn about addiction medicine as a possible component of a future career and to assist learners in acquiring further expertise and knowledge in this area.
