Careers

We are the national professional association that oversees the medical education of specialists in Canada. Our vision is to be the global leader in specialty medical education and care. Our members are specialist physicians and surgeons who mostly practise in Canada.

People are our most important asset. We take great care to attract individuals who personify our corporate values of accountability, integrity, respect and collaboration. We work hard, but we also like to have fun! Summer picnics, pizza lunches and an end-of-year annual holiday celebration are all part of our corporate culture.
