Moreover, the FMRQ is an important resource for residents in academic or psychosocial difficulty.

Canadian Psychiatric Association 鈥� Members-in-Training (MIT) Section
Founded in 1951, the Canadian Psychiatric Association (CPA) is the national voluntary professional association for Canada's 4,000 psychiatrists. It serves as an advocate for the professional needs of its members and promotes excellence in education, research, and clinical practice.
The MIT section has direct representation on the CPA board and provides resident representation to other CPA committees. The MIT section鈥檚 current goals are to expand membership, generate possible solutions to systemic gaps and issues that affect residents, and help foster the overall professional, academic, and personal development of psychiatric residents.
The executive of the MIT section meets twice a year in person, in conjunction with the spring rounds of meetings in Ottawa and at the CPA鈥檚 annual conference in the fall, and it meets regularly via teleconference. It welcomes comments and suggestions from residents.
