VFMP

We all love acronyms but what does VFMP actually mean? VFMP stands for the Vancouver-Fraser Medical Program. The UBC MD program is comprised of four geographically distinct sites including the Island Medical Program (IMP), Northern Medical Program (NMP), Vancouver-Fraser Medical Program (VFMP), and the Southern Medical Program (SMP). There are 288 spots for incoming students; 192 to the VFMP.

VFMP Faculty Development Team

The Vancouver Fraser Medical Program (VFMP) Faculty Development team is a small team of faculty and staff who, in addition to primary professional responsibilities, support the development of teaching and assessment competencies and practices among faculty and instructors involved with the MD Undergraduate Program at the Vancouver Fraser Site.

Program Developers
