Meet the president: Dr. Kathleen Ross
Members welcomed Dr. Kathleen Ross, a family physician in Coquitlam and New Westminster, BC, as the CMA’s 151st president at our 2023 Annual General Meeting.
“Let’s open an honest dialogue about what citizens expect from their health care and what we as physicians aspire to provide. Together, we can move to a future state where change is led by many, a rising tide that lifts all boats.”
