Participation in medical specialty organizations can provide medical students and residents with additional research, advocacy, networking, and leadership opportunities. This study aims to assess the opportunities available for trainees within Canadian medical specialty organizations. The results show that most organizations allow trainees to attend annual conferences, provide travel awards and research grants, and have formal mentorship programs.
ObjectivesParticipation in medical specialty organizations can provide medical students and residents with additional research, advocacy, networking, and leadership opportunities. Although past research has looked at individual specialties in the United States, little is known about trainee involvement in Canadian organizations. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review the opportunities available for medical students and residents within Canadian medical specialty organizations. MethodsThe websites of 71 Canadian medical specialty organizations were reviewed to assess levels of trainee participation. ResultsOf the 71 organizations reviewed, 42 (59%) allow medical students and 67 (94%) allow residents to become members. Most organizations allow trainees to attend their annual conference (83% for students and 93% for residents), and the mean cost of attending the most recent virtual conference was $114 (range: $0-$475) for students and $142 (range: $0-$475) for residents. Twenty-two organizations (31%) have travel awards for students and 37 (52%) have awards for residents. Research grants are available in 41 (58%) of organizations for students and 56 (79%) for residents. Formal mentorship programs exist in 16 (23%) organizations for students and 25 (35%) for residents. ConclusionTo our knowledge, this study highlights for the first time the scholarly opportunities available to trainees within Canadian medical specialty organizations.
