Meet the Council

From the President

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my years as a family physician, it’s that medicine is a complex profession and getting more complex every year. I love my job not in spite of all this complexity, but because of it. It’s an attitude I’ve brought to my work with CPSO, and one I will continue to bring in my role as president in 2020.

Two aspects of my CPSO work have really brought the intricate nature of medicine into focus: my recent involvement with our new Continuity of Care policies, and my work on our Quality Assurance Committee. Both areas have taught me that the only way to address true complexity is through collaboration. With Continuity of Care, I learned that patients, more than ever, want to be actively involved in their own care; they want to be treated as equal partners with their physicians to reach the best possible health outcome. The same could be said of doctors when it comes to quality improvement and assurance: they want to be actively engaged in the tools that help them strengthen their medical practices.

Let’s make 2020 all about addressing complexity through collaboration. We’ve got an exciting year ahead.
