On May 3, 2021, CPSM celebrated 150 years of promoting safe, ethical, and quality medical care for Manitobans.
CPSM was established as The Provincial Medical Board of Manitoba in 1871; The Manitoba Medical Act was passed on the last day of the first Manitoba Legislature Session on May 3, 1871. Since then, registration with the board (and later, the college) has been compulsory for all medical practitioners in the province.
The items from CPSM’s historical library provide a glimpse into how CPSM and the medical profession in Manitoba, have evolved since its inception.
