For sponsors · CME GTA
Reach community physicians across the GTA — the right way.
Sponsorship support for locally-hosted, accredited CME across the Greater Toronto Area — anchored at Ajax Harwood Clinic in Durham Region. Built around the IMC Code from day one, with full audience-level reporting and zero attendee PII exposure.
The audience
Who attends
CME GTA sessions reach community physicians and allied-health providers from across the Greater Toronto Area — with our strongest concentration in Durham Region (Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa), reflecting the program's anchor at Ajax Harwood Clinic, and meaningful representation from Scarborough, Markham, and east-end Toronto when the topic warrants the commute.
Sessions typically draw 20–60 physicians and allied-health attendees depending on topic and venue. Roughly two-thirds are physicians; the remainder are nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other clinic-based providers.
Numbers above are planning estimates for our first program year. We'll publish actual ranges once we have a full calendar behind us — and your sponsor portal will show aggregate counts for the specific event you fund.
Two ways
Ways to sponsor
1. Event sponsorship
Fund a single accredited lecture. Sponsors are named on the event announcement, the public event page, and the post-event report. Pricing varies by venue, expected audience size, and accreditation overhead — typical range is CAD $2,500 to $10,000 per event, sometimes more for off-site venues with full dinner service.
Content selection, speaker selection, and scientific conclusions remain entirely with AHC. This is non-negotiable under the IMC Code, and we treat it as a feature, not a constraint — independence is what makes the audience trust the program.
2. App-level sponsorship (coming soon)
For organizations that want ongoing visibility rather than event-specific support, we're building a banner placement on the CME GTA platform itself — roughly CAD $2,000 per month. One sponsor at a time, with a clear sponsor disclosure line. Pre-launch — write to us if you'd like to be first.
Compliance
How we handle pharma sponsorship
We take IMC Code compliance seriously. For sponsors, that's a feature: the kind of physician you want to reach is the same kind who walks out of a program that feels like a sales pitch.
- Every pharma-sponsored event is reviewed against the IMC Code of Ethical Practices before publication. We use an AI-assisted first-pass review followed by human compliance sign-off.
- Speaker financial disclosures are mandatory and read aloud at the start of every session.
- Sponsor disclosure is printed on the event page and stated at the session: who supported the talk, with the explicit statement that the sponsor had no role in content, speakers, or conclusions.
- Sponsors see aggregate attendance data onlyin the sponsor portal — counts and physician-vs-non-physician breakdowns. Never names, emails, or any other PII. This is architectural; it's built into the schema.
- Off-label discussion is not permitted in sponsored content. Promotional language is filtered out at the review stage before the event ever publishes.
