In accordance with its By-law, the CMPA holds an annual meeting, normally in conjunction with the Canadian Medical Association's annual meeting, making it possible for members to attend both events. Attendance at the CMPA Annual Meeting is generally restricted to members and invited guests.
During the annual meeting, a review of the previous year's performance and the audited financial statements are presented; the results of the council election and the aggregate fee requirement for the forthcoming year are announced; any proposed changes to the CMPA's By-law are discussed and ratified; and questions or concerns from members regarding the Association's business are addressed.
The meeting is followed by an information session on a policy matter or topic of interest to physicians.

Healthier physicians: An investment in safe medical care
North American surveys show high rates of burnout among physicians. There is also a large body of evidence illustrating the role that physician wellness plays in the delivery of safe and effective healthcare. Recent studies have linked physician burnout to increased healthcare system costs, medical-legal events, and adverse patient outcomes.
The 2018 Information Session will extend the critical conversation occurring around physician wellness by: highlighting the reciprocal relationship between physician health and the health of the system; providing resources to physicians and physician leaders; and demonstrating the importance of investing in physician wellness as a means of advancing sustainability and safety within Canadian healthcare.
The panelists outlined below will provide insight into this subject.
Moderator:
- Dr. Todd Watkins, Managing Director, Physician Services, CMPA
Speakers:
- Dr. Carol-anne Moulton, Associate Professor, University of Toronto, and Staff Surgeon, Division of General Surgery, University Health Network.
- Dr. Scott McLeod, Registrar, College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta
