The CMA unites the medical profession in Canada to improve the health of Canadians and strengthen the health care system. We are currently developing our new strategic plan, which will outline how we will continue to support our members in achieving these goals.
We focus on advocacy, seeking to inform and shape public policy with the perspective of Canada’s physicians. Insights from our members and CMA policy specialists help us advance initiatives and policies to address some of the most pressing health issues in Canada.
