Meet the president: Dr. Joss Reimer
Members welcomed Dr. Joss Reimer, former chief medical officer for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, as the CMA’s 152nd president at our 2024 Annual General Meeting.
“We are still in a health care crisis. It is critical physician voices are heard by decision makers.”
For the first three months of her presidency, Dr. Reimer will be sharing responsibilities with Dr. Kathleen Ross.

In the 2024 CaRMS match, 75 family medicine residency spots were left vacant. While that’s down from previous years (it was 100 in 2023 and 99 the year before), it’s a critical gap in a country where over 6.5 million people do not have access to a regular family doctor and social media continues to propagate health mis- and disinformation. Here’s a look the state of primary care in Canada and what we can do about it:
