The purpose of the Board is to consider and determine whether there is a medical condition that affects or may affect the ability of a student or trainee to participate, perform or continue in the Health Professional Educational Programs (Program) of the Faculty, and to make recommendations regarding such matters to the Dean. The Board is advisory to the Dean.

Meetings generally take place on the second Friday afternoon of every month, when required. Referral letter addressed to the Chair of BMA (PGME) must be received at least three weeks prior to the next scheduled meeting of the BMA. All supporting medical documentation is to be received in the Office of Resident Wellness at least one week prior to the meeting to give members time to review.

Program Directors are strongly advised to discuss referral prior with the Director, Office of Resident Wellness, regarding need for referral and specific questions the referral is intended to answer (see: BMA Referral Request):
