Details
- A guaranteed $20,000 in funding is available exclusively for medical students and residents, to significantly reduce registration fees.

- You must attend all 3 days of the conference
- You must be attending/attended a Canadian medical school.
- You must not be receiving funds(*) from another source to attend.
*Note: The ~$1000 conference funds most residents in Canada receive each year is not considered “funded” and you still qualify.
*You are still eligible if you are participating in the co-presenter program.
How to Apply?
- Register for the Rural and Remote Medicine Conference by January 20, 2025.
- Select “INVOICE ME” and submit. (Don’t Pay)
How will I know if I was selected?
- At the end of January, you will receive an email from the SRPC indicating if you were randomly selected (or not selected) to receive funding with instructions and additional details.
- All learners must pay their conference fee by March 1st 2025. If a learner was randomly chosen to receive funding but has not paid their registration fee by this date, the funding will be given to another learner.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors for making this initiative possible, further enhancing access to rural medicine education in Canada.
