Support To Attend National Medical Events and Conferences

At IPAC, we’re proud to support First Nations, Inuit, and Métis medical learners and physicians in accessing funding to attend national events that celebrate healthcare, leadership, wellness, mentorship, and culture.

These gatherings are incredible opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others who share your passion for making a positive impact in healthcare. Whether you’re seeking professional development, cultural connection, or mentorship, we’re here to support you on your journey.
