I strongly urge Doctors of BC to fill the horrific gap created by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC’s financial risk management strategy of closing the College Library. Closing the library demonstrates a failure to support quality medical care and physician job satisfaction. The College Library provided physicians with reliable information for use in our medical practices—that is, beyond the assumptions made in practice guidelines, which can be siloed and often do not fit the more complex realities experienced by physicians on the ground.

I strongly support the letters on this subject published in the BCMJ.
