What is the Consortium national de formation en santé?  

The Consortium national de formation en santé is made up of 16 colleges and universities of the Canadian Francophonie, located outside of Quebec. It was created in 2003 with funding from Health Canada provided through the Official Languages Health Program (OLHP). Health Canada's additional support to the funds invested by the provinces for the training of health professionals allows member establishments to increase the number of health professionals who can offer health services to Francophones living in a minority situation.
