The Medical Section was the first section formed when the Federation of Chinese Canadian Professionals (F.C.C.P.) was established in 1975. ln 1984 the Medical Section was formally incorporated under the name of the Chinese Canadian Medical Society (Ontario). The aims of the society are to bring together Chinese Canadian physicians of diverse backgrounds for professional, educational and social activities. The C.C.M.S. has flourished has flourished and it now members over 500 active members. lt has always been the most active section of the F.C.C.P. ln fact, half of the Presidents of the Board of Directors of the F.C.C.P. come from the Society. Since 1981 the C.C.M.S. has been organizing 1-day seminars in Toronto on diseases of the Chinese. lt was also one of the founding members of the Steering Committee of the National Conference of Health Problems Related to the Chinese in North America, and has actively participated at all past Conferences. Other activities of the Society include regular education dinners (sponsored by pharmaceutical companies), joint symposiums with the Biomedical Professionals and participation in the annual F.C.C.P. Conference. The members are regularly invited on radio and television programs to educate the Chinese community on health problems. They have also sponsored free clinics for refugees, and have supported Chinese outreach programs in hospitals and other agencies (like the Cancer Society, Red Cross Society etc). Two extensive tours to China had been organized for the members and they established ties to distinguished Chinese Medical universities and hospitals. Since 1988, and with the generous support of Nordic Laboratories lnc., the C.C.M.S.(Ont.) has organized annual Chinese Canadian Health Forums, which provided opportunities for the various Chinese Canadian Medical groups across Canada to come together, to discuss common problems and issues, and to create a nation-wide organization. There is a very active student membership. The medical students sit on the committee and help in organizing orientation meetings, guidance talks, and they fund- raise on their own for the Toronto hospitals. 96"""""" ...^ilnceJ acuoraluoC rrunuruo3 16............................f1:::y:.?..::.?.yi.y.?.::t.yt.:_"t0..?]:lR.::ny.?.ii..ytJ".H,qileeH """"J laued 06............ ........1*.LF-.?:.?.yi.y.?.::t.:i :y.?L:.?i.9..nyil?..?.y.?.9.:.::fi5i?d e2............ ............?.:.?.yj:J?.9::::.:?t?.g.yi.a_J:.:31lf".J1TJ?3s3' 69"""""" "lln uolssas lcerlsqv t9"""""" ...ll^ uolssos lcellsqv 09"""""" "' 111 uolssos lceJtsqv t9"""""" .....n uolssas perlsqy 6t"""""" "..n1 uolssas lceJtsqv et"""""" "'lll uolssos lce4sqy 2e"""""" ""'il uolssas lcerlsqv te""""""' ""1 uolssos tceJlsqv 12"""""" .....Y11::Ll.:.Yj.?.Y.ff.Y.:..',.:L"l#9. larc asaurqc aq] ...'..'C 12""""""' taued yt:.?-a.p.y:..?fl.f.:#g"T.r1l,?., 02 ... .. .......... sc!leua9 81"""""" """"9 toued er............ ....:t?.:.?i99:.:i'_'.?,t.?:..yy..:?.:.?.y,i.y9..?:!1.::.y?.yt:.?.1*:tl:;Tf"d. sc[ause relncaloy\ qbnorql aseoslq ct]ouae E lo lor]uoC 0t"""""" ""arnlco-l teuouau\l uteN-nes uono .lo ptltll otll 6""""""" """"'slo|la'I 8""""""" spre^ V luoua^olrlcv bulpuelsno 2.............. .......uer6o.rd 9""""""" se4pa[qg pue steog ocuoroluoC slN:rrNoc lo f-tsvr CONFERENCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This is a Biennial Conference started in 1982 by the Chinese Hospital in San Francisco, which brought together the various Chinese American and Canadian Medical Societies, as well as other North American and international physicians interested in the Health Problems of the Chinese in North America.
