Life-work balance is an integral part of any job, and our program rises to the challenge with a very strong Family Medicine Residents' Association (FMRA). In addition to a plethora of social events, the FMRA organizes welcome events, the annual Wilderness Retreat and Faculty Resident Extravaganza and Educational Retreat (FREzER), CaRMS Socials, Global Health Grand Rounds, Sim Club, Graduation, and CCFP and LMCC II (MCCQEII) examination preparation.Â
Residents are also eligible for funding from the Department of Family Medicine for educational materials and conference registration/travel.
The Family Medicine Residents' Association (FMRA) comprises all of the urban and distributed residents enrolled in Family Medicine at the University of Alberta. It is a resident run initiative meeting every Academic Full day.
