Endorsed Policy & Position Papers

The Ontario Medical Students Association's Advocacy and Education portfolios solicit and support policy and position papers to educate and help direct our future lobbying efforts.

Although the Advocacy and the Education Committee take the lead in the creation of most of these papers, any Ontario Medical Student is welcome to contribute new papers to OMSA for approval, or propose ideas and work alongside the Advocacy and/or the Education portfolio to develop new papers. For more information on creating and submitting new policy or position papers, please click here.
