We're doing it again!

The SRPC is happy to share the details for the R&R funding program to support SRPC students and resident members who plan to attend the annual R&R Conference.

R&R 2025 Funding Program for Rural Learners!

Important Notice: WAIT! - Don't Pay!

Students and residents can avoid paying out of pocket in advance and secure the early bird rate by Submitting their registration forms and choosing the "Invoice" option. Do not make any payment at this time.

Ignore the invoice until spring. This lets us adjust your registration if you receive funding from us or another source.

In the spring, we’ll confirm your participation and finalize any funding, payments or withdrawals.

Dear Medical Students and Residents,

We are excited to invite you to participate in the 32nd Annual Rural and Remote Medicine Conference, which will take place in Winnipeg, MB, April 24-26, 2025

As we prepare to open registration, we wanted to share a fantastic funding opportunity for Canadian medical students and residents.

Details

• A guaranteed $20,000 in funding is available exclusively for medical students and residents, to significantly reduce registration fees.
• 25 medical students and 25 residents will each receive $400 in funding.
  
  

Who is Eligible?

To qualify for this exciting opportunity, you must meet the following criteria:

• You must be a SRPC Member
• You must attend all 3 days of the conference
• You must be attending/attended a Canadian medical school.
• You must not be receiving funds(*) from another source to attend.
  
  *Note: The ~$1000 conference funds most residents in Canada receive each year is not considered "funded" and you still qualify.
  

  *You are still eligible if you are participating in the co-presenter program.

How to Apply?

• Register for the Rural and Remote Medicine Conference by January 20, 2025.
  
• Select "INVOICE ME" and submit. (Don't Pay)
  

How will I know if I was selected?

• At the end of January, you will receive an email from the SRPC indicating if you were randomly selected (or not selected) to receive funding with instructions and additional details.
• All learners must pay their conference fee by March 1st 2025. If a learner was randomly chosen to receive funding but has not paid their registration fee by this date, the funding will be given to another learner.

For any inquiries about the process or application, please reach out to Jenna at jennak@srpc.ca. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors for making this initiative possible, further enhancing access to rural medicine education in Canada.
