MD Financial Management Inc. (MD), an Ottawa-based asset manager dedicated to serving physicians and their families, is now the exclusive financial services partner of the Canadian Federation of Medical Students (CFMS).
“We are pleased to be working together with the CFMS to provide even better support to Canadian medical students,” said Mike Gassewitz, MD’s executive vice president of member solutions. “This partnership will enable us to help more medical students take the worry out of their finances and start their careers on the best possible financial footing, leaving them able to focus on their studies.”

“We’re very excited to be entering into this partnership with MD,” said Bryce Durafourt, president of CFMS. “Students will benefit from an improved level of support from CFMS and MD through a wide range of information, events and services that have been specifically created with them in mind.”
