In light of the pressure tactics called for by the Fédération des médecins spécialistes du Québec (FMSQ), Quebec’s four faculties of medicine issued the following joint statement:
The deans of Quebec's faculties of medicine deplore the impact the current negotiations may have on medical teaching activities. The contribution of clinical physicians to teaching is essential to the successful functioning of our training programs. The absence of supervision and teaching, even for a short time, could compromise the graduation of the next generation of medical professionals. We urge the parties to make every effort to resolve their differences quickly.
