Helping BC's Docs Keep Up By Keeping Track Of CMEs.

The Minoru Medical Education Society ( MMES ) was incorporated as a non-profit society on February 14, 2001 under the Society Act of British Columbia (S-42701) in order to:

Support, organize, and encourage the continuing medical education of health care professionals in the Richmond-Vancouver Health Services area.

Promote and organize medical education situations for the purpose of maintaining professional harmony in the general medical community of the Richmond-Vancouver Health Services area.

The sole purpose of this society is to promote continuing medical education for the practising medical community in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. To that end the MMES will sponsor medical education situations and will also act as a venue through which the practising physicians and other allied medical personnel can apprise themselves of upcoming Continuing Medical Education (CME) dates, topics, and locations.

Funding:

The funding for the Minoru Medical Education Society ( MMES ) will come from corporate sponsorships and will be supported by ongoing corporate subscriptions as well as financial input from the public health sector and fund raising events.

Advantages:

Practising physicians will be able to go online and find upcoming CME events that appeal to them and to their respective time-tables. Drug companies will have another level of communication that will reach a large number of practising physicians and avoid duplications and poor attendance. Funds remaining in the Society will go to maintaining the web site and fund those medical CMEs that are less popular with the pharmaceutical companies such as learning disabilities, domestic violence etc. For further information about support see the FYI and Contact pages in this web site.
