      From the CMA website (link below)

      CALL FOR NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN

      The CMA is looking for 12 individuals from across Canada to form our first-ever patient liaison group, the CMA Patient Voice.

      Rooted in the CMA 2020 Strategic Plan, the CMA Patient Voice aims to further enhance our ability to advocate for a healthy population and a vibrant medical profession. More specifically, the CMA Patient Voice will:

      • provide an informed patient perspective to the work of the CMA;

      • highlight emerging issues that matter to patients and the public; and

      • provide insights on patient engagement strategies and campaigns.

      We encourage engaged citizens from a broad cross-section of Canadian society to share their voice with us. As the CMA moves towards bringing a patient perspective to our work, the CMA Patient Voice will help ensure we're hearing from a diversity of voices.

      https://www.cma.ca/En/Pages/patient-voice.aspx

      deadline is July 18, 2018

        Thanks for posting this, Susan. They contacted me on Twitter and asked that I spread the news so thankfully you already have.

        The CMA sounds like they genuinely want to work with advisors/partners and it will take both patients and clinicians to help make the changes we need, so good on them. Alies

            Hi Everyone,

            Just out of curiosity, did anyone else apply and if so, have you heard back yet? I had hoped to hear by now, as I have some medical stuff needs addressing and need to start making plans. Hoping to hear before the end of the month!

              I applied too and I also have not heard. I'll send them an email.

                Ah, i have just read that the deadline for this is July 18. So probably won't hear until several weeks after that.

                you must be thinking about the conference, as I was... I think the conference is in August if I remember correctly...

                  That doesn't make any sense since they are only holding hotel rooms till July 15th. How are PTs supposed to book at the special rate if they are releasing the rooms before the deadline? The conference is the third week of August. That also leaves only a month to book flights.

                  Originally when I applied, it said notification would be this week, unless they have changed it. I am confused now.

                  The nomination deadline for their patient liaison group is July 13th..maybe that was what you saw? That's a separate thing.

                        A friend who also applied has received a rejection email this morning. I still haven't heard anything myself. Nothing in my junk mail either. Anyone else?

                              CMA informed me that they would let patient applicants know by June 22nd who will receive scholarships and said due to larger response than they anticipated the increased it from 20 to 25. But I have not heard a word yet.

                                I emailed to ask and this was the response:

                                ”Sponsorship selections have not been made public yet. We’ve been delayed because the unexpected popularity of the program. We received hundreds of application, which totally caught us off guard. And to make it harder they were EXCELLENT applications. All of this has caused some delays. We’re hoping to announce by the end of the week.”

                                Meaning today would be the day.

                                    I applied and had no rejection letter, but I doubt I will be invited since they had all day Friday.

                                    It's great that 3 PAN members will be there!!
