CMPA Council

The CMPA is governed by an elected council of 30 practising physicians representing 10 geographical areas across Canada. The council, chaired by the president, meets quarterly to foster the long-term success of the Association.

The Executive Committee meets monthly and acts on council's behalf between meetings of council. Much of the council's work is carried out through committees. Each year elections are held for positions on the CMPA Council.

Members may wish to contact councillors to discuss governance issues; inquiries from members and non-members regarding operational or case-specific matters should be directed to 1-800-267-6522.
