Diversity & Inclusion

The 154th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Canadian Medical Association will be one long-remember for many things says Dr. Eric Cadesky.

Smaller board sizes, corporate style Codes of Conduct and relying on senior staff and consultants are undermining organizations like the CMA, argues Dr. Zafar Essak

I have seen a change in the ‘traditional role’ of the pharmacist, an appetite for pharmacists to expand into new roles and be increasingly recognised as integral members of the primary care team.

The grant will also help build capacity within the IPAC more generally.

Some argue that the Canadian Medical Association governance changes being voted on Sunday are a “threat to democracy” at the CMA. But Drs Charissa Patricelli, Gigi Osler and Clover Hemans of the Federation of Medical Women of Canada say that the changes are bold and threaten the status quo, not democracy.

Dr. Granger Avery, a past-president of the Canadian Medical Association, outlines the concerns he and colleagues have that the changes members of the CMA are being asked to vote on this Sunday will permanently make the CMA less democratic.
