Candidate statement
I will continue to support the CMPA in its critical mission, the provision of high quality medicolegal support for Canadian physicians, as well as championing safer medical care for Canadians. The CMPA must continue to support your needs, with an increasing focus on maintaining physician wellness.
I fully support the Association in the pursuit of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
I have been able to practice full service Family Medicine, as well provide care to rural patients in Ile des Chenes, and Concordia Hospital
I will continue to support the modernization of CMPA processes to better understand member's needs and provide streamlined services to our members. I recognize the substantial financial contribution from members and will continue to ensure that CMPA assets continue to be well managed, so as to keep fees manageable and predictable, while ensuring that high quality assistance to physicians will be available for the long term.
I recognize that the costs generated by subsets of doctors such as female physicians as well as part time physicians may be less, and this needs to be examined.
I recognize that CMPA fee reimbursement is likely to continue to be under threat across the country, and will help to ensure that all stakeholders recognize the value and critical role of the CMPA in the Canadian healthcare system
Going forward, the medical profession will be coming under more scrutiny and regulation by governments, health authorities, hospitals, and Colleges. CMPA will continue to ensure members interests are protected.
I fully support the CMPA continuing to invest in patient safety initiatives and products for members. These initiatives will serve to assist our members, improve care and reduce medicolegal costs.
I have been fortunate in being able to serve Canadian physicians in many ways over decades including service on CMA and CFPC boards, as well as many years as a Director of Doctors Manitoba. I have served as president of both Doctors Manitoba and the MCFP. I have also served as site manager of Family Medicine at Concordia Hospital. This diversity of advocacy and service to physicians, along with my 8 years of CMPA council experience, will continue to help me serve the membership as a Councillor.
I have been elected thrice to Council, and look forward to continue to be of service to CMPA members.
I look forward to re-election to council to continue to support Canada's physicians through service on CMPA council
