Gender Equity in the Medical Profession

Doctors of BC recognizes that gender inequity is a societal issue that affects female physicians negatively in areas like income, career advancement, mental health, and job satisfaction. We commit to taking action on this issue by tracking gender representation in the association, supporting efforts to address the gender pay gap, applying GBA+ in decision-making, reviewing parental leave benefits, and helping members access resources mentorship and leadership opportunities.

Promoting Psychological Safety for Physicians

Doctors of BC Position: Psychological challenges continue to be prevalent for physicians and other healthcare providers. To improve psychological safety, Doctors of BC believes physician advocacy should be supported, physicians should have access to leadership training activities, provider experience should be considered a key performance metric of the health system, and health authorities should develop fair dispute resolution systems for physicians to access.
