Project Funding Application



The Richmond Hospital Medical Staff Association (formerly Richmond Hospital Physician Society, RHPS) invites physicians to apply for funding under the Facility Engagement Initiative. The Facility Engagement Initiative, a provincial SSC funded initiative born out of the 2014 PMA and the Memorandum of Understanding (renewed in 2022), supports initiatives that strengthen relationships and engagement between the Health Authorities and facility-based physicians. It provides facility-based physicians with a more meaningful voice in HA and site decisions and improves patient care and their working environment. Please see the complete funding guidelines and the funding guidelines summary table for more information. RH MSA maintains independence from pharmaceutical company support and does not provide FE funding when there is pharmaceutical company involvement in any medical staff activity. Disclosure of pharmaceutical company involvement is required to support transparency and accountability in the use of FE funds.

Ideas for projects can be found on the Site Engagement Activity Tracker (SEAT) Provincial Database.

  • Advertising - with the exception of physician recruitment ads

  • Meeting attendance that is presently required as part of maintaining medical staff privileges
