Students

The Consortium national de formation en santé (CNFS) brings together 16 colleges and universities from the Canadian Francophonie that are located outside Quebec.  

What is the CNFS ?

Members of Francophone minority communities do not always have access to equitable health services.

CNFS member colleges and universities receive funding from Health Canada to train more front-line health professionals who are able to provide services in French to Francophones living in minority communities.

Are you studying in a health training program targeted by the CNFS?

Here are some resources for you.
