Journal Article
Minority of doctors block CMA diversity overhaul
2021
Overview
Debate over diversity and democratic processes dominated the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) annual general meeting held virtually on Aug 22. A small group of doctors defeated two motions aimed at boosting the inclusion of underrepresented groups in CMA leadership, and disputes cast a shadow over the ratification of the organization's first Indigenous president-elect, Dr. Alika Lafontaine. The first motion proposed to allow all members to vote to select the CMA president-elect nominee. Historically, doctors in each Canadian jurisdiction have taken turns selecting a nominee in a local vote. The second motion proposed to replace elections for CMA board and committee positions with a search committee that would recommend candidates based on an \"evolving set of skills and diversity attributes.\" CMA had planned to appoint an inaugural search committee composed of three board members, three physician \"members-at-large,\" and one nonphysician with experience in governance for an initial one-year term. While most physicians at the meeting supported the leadership overhaul, the motions failed to win the two-thirds majority required to pass.
