  • Description: The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) plans to eliminate its General Council, the sometimes boisterous yearly meeting known as the Parliament of Medicine at which delegates debate motions to direct the association's policy development. In its place, the association will hold a new event, called the Health Summit. The final General Council--and the inaugural Health Summit--will be held August 20-22 in Winnipeg. Dr. Brian Brodie, chair of the CMA board of directors, said the move is aimed at making the association more responsive to members and better able to encompass the breadth of what contributes to a healthy population. We want to move from debate to dialogue, conservative to modern, and exclusive to inclusive, he said. The Ontario Medical Association said some of its members support the move, but that others were deeply concerned.
