OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 18, 2021 /CNW/ - MD Financial Management Inc. (MD) and Scotiabank today announced a renewed agreement with the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) in support of programs that foster excellence in emergency medicine across Canada.

"Emergency physicians shoulder tremendous responsibility under highly stressful circumstances in normal times, let alone during the pandemic," says MD CEO Daniel Labonté. "We're proud to continue to support CAEP's mission and help emergency physicians and their families meet their career and financial goals."

The three-year partnership renewal, with MD and Scotiabank as the exclusive financial services partners of CAEP, will focus particularly on delivering financial education to CAEP members; and providing financial support for career development, networking and physician wellness.

MD and Scotiabank's physician-focused financial resources can help emergency physicians and their families achieve their personal and professional financial goals, and in turn contribute to their financial well-being.

As the financial services partners of nearly 30 organizations (including CAEP), MD and Scotiabank are deeply committed to supporting Canada's physicians and their families.
