- ABOUT US
A national voice in medical regulation
The Federation of Medical Regulatory Authorities of Canada (FMRAC) represents the organizations that license and regulate physicians across the country, the provincial and territorial medical regulatory authorities (MRAs). We work together to protect the public and promote high standards in medical regulation. As a national voice in medical regulation, FMRAC leads collaboration and dialogue on the policies, practices, and challenges that shape Canada’s healthcare system. Through collaboration, service, and shared expertise, we support MRAs to help ensure that physicians are accountable and the public is protected in every jurisdiction in Canada. In doing so, FMRAC strengthens public trust and plays a vital role in the evolution of medical regulation in Canada.
