Voting opens for new Physician Master Agreement

Voting is now open to ratify the 2022 Physician Master Agreement (PMA) and all members are encouraged to cast their vote. This agreement achieves some major accomplishments for both doctors and patients, and delivers on what doctors across BC identified as priority issues. Doctors of BC’s Board of Directors has endorsed it and is recommending it be accepted.

On Monday, November 14, eligible members would have received an email from ElectionBuddy inviting your participation in the ratification vote.
