Wellness Resources


General Resources

From the FMRQ: Medical residents have access to different resources that can assist them in a situation of intimidation or harassment from which they have difficulty removing themselves, as in when the harasser is in a position of authority and is responsible for evaluating the resident in question. 

To help victims of harassment and intimidation initiate steps to help them get out of these situations, the FMRQ has compiled resources available in each medical faculty, and outside the training sites, in particular at the Quebec Physicians’ Health Program (QPHP) and the Fédération des médecins résidents du Québec (FMRQ). You can also get in contact with our vice-president for wellness or delegate colleagues, as necessary.
