What do you do with your downtime? Doctors of BC knows you work hard. Your downtime is important and we want to help you make the most of it to do the things you love. 

Want to enjoy a round of golf in the majestic hills of Whistler? How about attending some live theatre? Feel like joining a gym and living a more active lifestyle? Club MD gives you access to discounted rates for a curated collection of offerings you’ll enjoy. 

Family doctors are invited to join a four-part webinar series about billing GPSC fees to:

• Increase confidence when billing GPSC incentives.
• Better support appropriate billing.
• Improve understanding about fee rules.
• Not miss billing for additional services.

Based on physician feedback, the GPSC and SGP are expanding their series from new-to-practice to all family doctors and their MOAs. The webinars were first presented to new-to-practice GPs in winter 2018 and spring 2019.

Dr Amanda Ribeiro has decided to leave the BCMJ Editorial Board to allow more time to focus on her OB/GYN residency. We wish her all the best in her residency and look forward to a possible return to our hallowed halls once she is done. 

I am inundated with requests from my patients to refill medications and assess conditions outside my scope. Many of them have disabilities and are unable to wait for hours at a walk-in clinic. There is a lack of resources to treat poverty, mental health, and addictions. The money should go there.
