FAQ
Would you like to have a first consultation with a medical specialist? Please note that you must first consult a primary care physician, which is a general practitioner. They will assess your state of health and refer you to a medical specialist if necessary.
Don't have a family doctor?
Refer to a resource that offers medical consultations without an appointment. Register with the Quebec Family Doctor Finder (GAMF).
Looking for a specific medical specialist?
If you are looking for a specific medical specialist and you know his or her name, you will find their contact information in the directory of the Collège des médecins du Québec.
You can also visit the website of their medical association; some medical specialist associations have a directory of their members.
We cannot answer medical questions or comment on patients' medical records. For information related to a health issue, consult a physician.
If you would like to learn more about medical specialties, visit the Our Specialists page.
If you have experienced a problem during an episode of care and wish to file a complaint, contact the local service quality and complaints commissioner of the establishment where you received health services. Alternatively, you can contact the Collège des médecins du Québec, which is the professional order of physicians in Quebec.
You can do so through the FMSQ, which is an organization accredited by the Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ) and the Committee on Accreditation of Continuing Medical Education (CACME) of the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC). The FMSQ is also an organization providing continuing professional development (CPD) activities accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. As such, it can accredit training activities.
The FMSQ only grants continuing education credits for activities organized by a recognized physician organization (for example: the council of physicians, dentists and pharmacists (CPDP) of a hospital centre, a hospital department, a scholarly society of physicians, an association or federation of physicians).
For more information, visit the Accreditation of a training activity page.
