CANPAD is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2001 (registered in Ontario, Canada) to represent Nigerian physicians and dentists living in Canada. We promote professional, educational, and charitable initiatives benefiting both communities in Canada and Nigeria
The CANPAD Medical Journal is the official publication of the Canadian Association of Nigerian Physicians and Dentists (CANPAD). Our primary role is to serve as a professional, peer-reviewed platform for sharing medical knowledge, research, and experiences especially from the perspective of Nigerian healthcare professionals in the diaspora.
The CANPAD Medical Journal stands at the intersection of science, community, and culture amplifying the voices of Nigerian physicians and dentists in Canada and beyond. As a peer-reviewed publication, the journal offers a platform for sharing groundbreaking medical research, innovative public health solutions, and critical reflections on healthcare systems.
More than just a scientific outlet, the CANPAD Journal reflects the lived experiences of diaspora healthcare professionals navigating dual identities and complex healthcare landscapes.
The CANPAD Medical Journal goes beyond clinical research, it nurtures a shared identity among Nigerian healthcare professionals in the diaspora. By spotlighting culturally relevant healthcare challenges and experiences, the journal fosters a sense of belonging and unity among its readers.
Through writing, collaborative publications, and culturally sensitive health discussions, it helps bridge the gap between African heritage and Western medical practice. Each article becomes a thread that connects professionals across borders celebrating diversity, promoting inclusion, and preserving the values that define our community.
“As healthcare becomes more global and interconnected, the CANPAD Medical Journal offers a unique platform to spotlight academic excellence and research within the North American and international medical community. We believe in scientific excellence, global equity, and representation—values that will shape tomorrow’s health landscape. We welcome your support, contributions, and engagement in this noble initiative”
