September 20, 2020 Canadian Federation of Medical Students
Burnout and mental illnesses can be exacerbated by the medical training environment. In response, the Canadian Federation of Medical Students (CFMS) formed the Wellness Curriculum Task Force (WCTF) to review the current wellness programming in Canadian medical schools. As a result, the CFMS and the WCTF have developed a new evidence-based Wellness Curriculum Framework, consisting of 16 evidence-based goals.
