popfossa Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Has any incoming first-year medical student signed up for their CMA membership yet? Just wondering if we just do it through the CMA website directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbesee Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I did it through the link that was provided at the Doctors of BC website for UBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INTJ-A Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 at uAlberta we sign up for AMA (Alberta Medical Association) and CMA simultaneously. The membership year runs from October to September, and the university will be collecting membership dues on AMA/CMA's behalf beginning October 1st. I am guessing you have a similar thing set up wherever you're at, so just hang tight, you will be notified by email closer to October.

Not all provinces bundle them - Ontario doesn't - and people are pushing to try to keep them separate in many places. Still some rather annoyed people at the CMA's latest moves ha.

ChemPetE Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Definitely not happy with CMA’s latest moves. Also think AMA might have stopped the bundling? Not sure what the latest is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popfossa Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 If I go to Ottawa will the school contact us to sign up for OMA and CMA then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the latest is. Our 2020 AMA application states the following: "Please note, the AMA membership fee automatically includes CMA membership at no additional cost to you. While we strongly recommend maintaining membership in both Associations, CMA membership is voluntary." ChemPetE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
