- Abstract
- Since its creation in 1867, the CMA has united the voice of the medical profession in Canada, and championed efforts to improve the health of Canadians and strengthen the health care system. Today, the CMA continues to evolve side by side with progress in medicine and the changing needs of Canadians. Innovation in medicine and health care, technological advances, the use of big data, and growing pressures on the system are redefining health and the context in which the CMA contributes to the health of Canadians. While these changes bring new opportunities to the medical profession, they also come with unprecedented challenges. These challenges include evolving our health care system to better meet the needs of our nation’s aging population, new understandings about delivering culturally appropriate health care, and an intense focus on outcomes and value. The CMA has adopted a new three-year strategic plan that embraces a new health care landscape and strengthens our contribution to society. We aim to drive positive change that ultimately results in a vibrant profession and a healthy population. To implement the plan, the CMA will be courageous and influential in addressing issues, collaborate with like-minded organizations, and unite and inspire physicians on significant health matters.
