History
The Canadian Medical Foundation was established in 1987 by the Canadian Medical Association to help Canadian physicians realize their philanthropic goals as well as create healthier communities in Canada and outside of Canada. In partnership with community organizations, physician leaders and our donors, CMF has supported a wide variety of charitable programs over its almost 40-year history, such as financial aid for medical students, research, and programming to address physician well-being, and the co-creation of the Canadian Physician Health Institute (CPHI).

Today, the CMF is wholly independent and working with healthcare leaders and organizations in underserved communities to add diversity and equity to the health workforce.
