Your IPAC membership as a student provides you with ongoing mentorship and support from Indigenous resident and physician members. You will have opportunities to network with those in the medical community and you will benefit from professional development opportunities throughout your medical education and career. You will have the opportunity to take part in student led work and participate on our Student Tracks. All IPAC members have unique opportunities to sit on committees, provide input on policy submissions and participate in advocacy work.  

We like to promote and celebrate our members professional achievements as it shows how much of an impact everyone is making as a current Indigenous medical student, resident or physician! If you win an award or scholarship, we will be sure to celebrate with you and share your successes with our other IPAC members.

You will receive reduced registration rates for our annual IPAC National Mentorship Forum.

If you want to be involved more directly in IPAC, feel free to run for the role of IPAC Student Director. This position is elected annually and provides IPAC's Board of Directors with their real life experience as a current medical student. This insight allows IPAC to focus on what students need and will provide you with some wonderful experience of working with decades of experience that our Board members have as Indigenous physicians. 

Finally, you will get member-only access to IPAC newsletters and our private IPAC Facebook group.
