About The MMES
History
The Minoru Medical Education Society was incorporated under the Society's Act of British Columbia on February 28, 2001. The sole function of the MMES and indeed its mission is "doctors helping doctors through continuing medical education."
This independent, physician-run society of 363 present day members produces between 45 and 60 continuing medical events yearly. Attendance at the CMEs range from 15 to as many as 90 participants. Both in-person and virtual CMEs have been provided. Members have also had the opportunity to attend fishing trips and social events coordinated by the MMES.
Becoming A Member
Membership in the MMES is restricted to physicians and is contingent upon paying a $50 annual membership fee, as required by the Societies Act of BC. The advantages of membership in the MMES include e-mail notifications of meetings, inclusion in exclusive MMES events, and the right to vote at the AGM held every February.
The MMES also welcomes our retired medical alumni to join and continue to enrich our meetings with their experience, knowlege, and good humour.
Paid membership, however, is NOT a requirement to attend most of the CME/webinars produced or administered by the MMES.
