Workplace safety

Doctors of BC recently provided feedback on WorkSafeBC’s proposed amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. We support all efforts to improve safety in the workplace so long as such efforts are implemented in an effective manner that reduces workplace violence and harassment while also avoids adding to already existing physician burdens.

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.
