OUR HISTORY

The Portal was launched in 2014 in response to the significant concerns expressed by both the Canadian Federation of Medical Students and the AFMC Standing Committee on Undergraduate Medical Education regarding the complexity and inconvenience medical students face when applying for electives in Canada. See how the AFMC Student Portal re-shaped the way Canadian medical schools manage visiting electives.

HAVE QUESTIONS? The Help Desk is available Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) Note: All questions regarding elective offerings will be handled by the elective teams at each faculty of medicine; please consult the medical school's institution profile on the Portal for their contact information. Students can also consult the Answers to Common Questions: A Quick Reference Guide for Students.
