To all physicians, medical learners and retired physicians, we hope you will choose beautiful Prince Edward Island as your place to work, live and play.
MSPEI is the professional association, representing all PEI physicians and medical learners. When you decide to practice in PEI, you will apply to be a member with our Society.

As per Section 4.1 of the Medical Society Act, upon becoming registered for medicine under the Regulated Health Professions Act's Medical Practitioner Regulations¸ physicians licensed on PEI are required to pay the applicable MSPEI membership fee or an amount equal to that membership fee to MSPEI.
Medical License
All physicians who intend to practice medicine in Prince Edward Island (in person or otherwise) must be registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Prince Edward Island (CPSPEI) as per the Regulated Health Professions Act 2021. A physician must hold Canadian certification (CFPC/ RCPSC) or hold eligibility to write the exams to obtain Canadian certification. Additionally, all applicants must hold, at minimum, the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam Part I (MCCQE Part I).
Further information can be found on the CPSPEI website.
CMA Membership
The CMA will now be collecting its membership dues directly from members in Prince Edward Island, rather than through MSPEI. To join or renew your CMA membership, please use their online form or contact their Member Service Centre at memberservicecentre@cma.ca.
