News: A look at the QBMA symposium 1998
On October 17th 1998, The Quebec Black Medical Association (QBMA), The Quebec Board of Black Educators (QBBE) and The National Council of Black Educators of Canada (NCBEC) organized a symposium entitled "A Young Scientists' Conference".
This conference was an opportunity for young Black scientists to present their research activities, allow them to create network with their peers and expose them to the larger scientific community.
In the light of The QBMA's 20th Anniversary, it is a great occasion to take a look back at the 1st scientific symposium hosted by The QBMA.
Following is the booklet of the 1998 event.

Message From The President Dr. Elrie C. Tucker
The Quebec Black Medical Association celebrates its twentieth anniversary. Most business analysts are of the opinion that the hurdles of the first three to five years are crucial in the life of any new venture. Not only did the QBMA succeed in the crossing of the “five year” barrier but it also managed to make its way to the end of a second decade.
In those past twenty years, the QBMA has helped close to 500 bright, motivated and socially involved young people to have access to various careers in the field of health care. Many of them are now active in direct care or in research within universities or private firms. The Quebec Black Medical Association was happy and proud to help them realize their dreams of a worthy career.
Thank you QBMA!
It's a great and wonderful way to help those who are in need. As we all know, the cost of books can be very expensive. This is my way of saying thank you to the QBMA; I am grateful for the help they provided Tiffany in an needful time. Thank you very much once again. Keep up the good work!
Brenda St-Cyr, Parent of QBMA Scholarship Recipient
