Whenever I spend time with med students I’m reminded why I do what I do. The energy that fills the rooms at orientation each year is magnetic, refreshing and gives me hope.
Congrats @ubcmedicine.bsky.social class of 2029: hold on to this feeling. And remember @cmadocs.bsky.social has your back 💪

A strong economy requires healthy Canadians and an accessible, resilient health care system. 🩺
With the push to reduce provincial trade barriers at today’s First Ministers meeting, now is the right time to make sure doctors can practise anywhere they are needed at any time.

Today marks my last day as President of the CMA. As I wrap up my term with @cmadocs.bsky.social, I want to thank you all - patients and physicians - for allowing me to advocate on your behalf.
Canadian health care has a long way to go, but I know we’re headed in the right direction.

You’ve probably heard me say it: Health care is political, but it is not partisan. The health of Canadians should not be a divisive issue. We need all parties and decision makers #FightingForCare.

I’ve spent the past few weeks meeting with candidates from all parties, and having great conversations about the importance of health care accessibility in our country.

I just sent a letter to all party leaders, and made one message very clear: There is no version of Canada’s future without a functioning health care system.

I recently received an email from a U.S. trained doctor practicing in Canada. She outlined these hurdles for international physicians wanting to move here. I hear you - and these are exactly the types of barriers @cmadocs.bsky.social is working hard to break down.

Income is the #1 determinant of health. Now, as our income as a country is being threatened, so too is our health. Health care needs to be at the forefront of this federal election, across party lines.

Canada needs to prioritize filling in the gaps in our health system. Physicians should be able to move from province to province - without applying for a new, costly license.

As a Manitoban, I'm thrilled to see that Minister @markhollandlib.bsky.social announced that Manitoba is the first province to reach a pharmacare deal with the government.
This is a huge step forward for Canada. Access to life saving medication should never be based on your ability to pay.
