Are you a physician practising medicine in British Columbia? Are you or your spouse having or adopting a baby or planning a pregnancy in the period of 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012?
If you are, then it is important to take advantage of the Parental Leave Program, one of the negotiated benefits administered by the BCMA. The program has been improved to include benefits for male physicians and adoptive parents in addition to pregnancy benefits. Funding has also been increased, allowing a maximum benefit of $1000 per week.
