CAPA attended the Colloque médical étudiant du Québec on January 14^th in Montreal

CAPA was invited to participate in this year’s Colloque médical étudiant du Quebec, Louis-François Robichaud, Québec Chapter President, was a panellist in a discussion forum on interdisciplinary health teams and health care. This Conference was organized by the ‘‘Regroupement des étudiant de l’association médicale du Québec’’ and sponsored by the Québec Medical Association (QMA). This year theme was ‘‘medicine open to others, here and elsewhere’’. Other panelists featured at this event included: Mrs. Diane Lamarre (President of l’Ordre des pharmaciens du Québec); Mrs. Geneviève Ménard (Ordre des infirmiers et infirmières du Québec;, Dr. Jean-Bernard Trudeau (Secrétaire adjoint of the Collège des médecins du Québec); and Dr. Ruth Vander Stelt (President of the Quebec Medical Association)
 

The Quebec Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Yves Bolduc, gave the keynote allocution and attended the morning conferences.

The event was a success. Approximately 200 medical students from the three French medicine faculties attended including: the University of Montréal; Université de Sherbrooke; and Université Laval. The students were very interested in the role of PAs and supportive to the possible expansion of the profession in Quebec.
