The CMA unites physicians who believe in a better future of health.
Our vision is a sustainable, accessible health system where patients are partners; communities where everyone has the chance to be healthy; and a new culture of medicine that elevates physician wellbeing and embraces equity and diversity.
Realizing that vision is the work of the CMA as well as the CMA Group of Companies (CMA Foundation and CMA Impact).
Together, we are leading change through:
- Advocacy, knowledge generation and engagement
- Support for physicians, including leadership development, wellness, and promotion of clinical excellence
- Charitable giving and responsible investment
