During the past 10 years that I have sat on the BCMA Board, I have tried to be a voice for the members by bringing their unique and diverse perspectives and ideas to the decision-making table. I believe that for an organization that represents and speaks for the doctors of BC, transparency and accountability to its members are paramount. 

“It’s been 50 years since the first issue of the British Columbia Medical Journal came off the press. So, we think that’s cause for celebration.” These two lines have actually been taken from a Pulsimeter item from the May 1983 BCMJ (page 264) the only change: replacing 25 with 50.

BCMA SILVER MEDAL OF SERVICE AWARD
BCMA members are encouraged to nominate physicians or laypersons for the BCMA Silver Medal of Service award. The medal will be presented at the BCMA’s Annual General Meeting in June 2009. 

Physician nominees must have 25 years of membership in good standing in the BCMA, the CMA, and the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia. Non-medical candidates may be laypersons of Canadian or foreign citizenship.
