2024

When Doctors of BC was developing our most recent strategic plan, extensive conversations took place around how to address equity for our members and the best way to incorporate equity as a key principle.

Canada Pride 2024 in Vancouver takes place from 26 July to 4 August. Pride marks a time of celebration, advocacy, and reflection for the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Thank you, Dr Dunne, for your editorial on the closure of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC (CPSBC) medical library.[1] Additionally, I am most grateful to Dr Gillespie for his proposal that Doctors of BC take over the library.[2] This is an excellent idea and provides a hopeful way forward.

Dr Dunne was curious to hear from BCMJ readers regarding what the medical library, or lack thereof, means to us.

I read with sadness that the venerable College Library closed in March 2024. It’s a decision I understand, considering how reliable medical information is acquired by practitioners in 2024.

I agree with Dr Dunne in deploring the closing of the College Library. It has been an excellent and efficient service for the physicians of the province.
