📢 We’re leaving X but the work continues.
It’s clear X is now a tool for the U.S. government and its attacks on Canadians and our sovereignty. That’s why we will no longer be updating this account. Join us on our other platforms as we fight for physicians and access to care.

If you want a break from (gestures vaguely around), can I recommend the show Cub Camp? It's an adorable show about black bears rescued and released in Manitoba.

Find this wonderful distraction on @LoveNature (which I found on prime)
Or @cottagelife

I can’t believe it's been five years since #COVID19 was declared a pandemic.

These past few years have felt like we’re moving from crisis to crisis. It’s been exhausting, but our health system has learned a few lessons. https://t.co/53Zn1BTwJ0

Congratulations to @MarkJCarney on becoming Liberal leader and Prime Minister-designate. We look forward to working with you on solutions to improve Canadians' access to health care.

Women’s reproductive rights are under siege across the border and #misinformation is like fuel on the fire. We asked @DrSheilaW, a family doctor @UnityHealthTO & @WCHospital, about the impact of global attitudes and policies on women in Canada.

Systems thinking: @jossreimer talks passionately about the opportunity of breaking down the barriers between provinces and territories so health care professionals can move more freely and help improve access to care for ALL Canadians.

During the upcoming federal election, you can count on @cma_docs to make the case for combatting false information, promoting physician mobility, driving down paperwork, and supporting our health workforce. https://t.co/rKm1g9kEro

[Dr. Joss Reimer @jossreimer]

Interprovincial labour barriers make it harder for Canadians to access medical care. It’s time for this to change.

Congrats and welcome to the team, all who received their #CaRMSMatch today! 🎉No matter what happened today, CaRMS does not define you. You may love where you matched, or you may realize it’s not the right path. Wherever your future takes you, you’ll develop a career you’ll love.

AI can make a difference in decreasing #AdminBurden. Doctors using an AI scribe reported a 3 hour reduction in admin tasks per week. That's huge!

The first step in adopting these tools will be building trust, and regulating them for accuracy and privacy. https://t.co/iMAQR1BdVQ

[Dr. Joss Reimer @jossreimer]

Family docs spend between 10 to 19 hours a week on paperwork. This takes time away from what they’re trained to do: see patients. 

One of the easiest ways to reduce this #AdminBurden is eliminate mandatory sick notes.

@cwieman Completely agree!

[Dr. Joss Reimer @jossreimer]

@TburnsT Agreed!

[Dr. Joss Reimer @jossreimer]

Canada is short 22,823 family physicians. That is a jaw dropping number.

There is no one single strategy that will fix this. Yes, we need more doctors, but expanding team-based care will also play a key part in meeting our country’s health system needs. https://t.co/HBJuZzwqWj

I’m deeply disappointed to hear that the U.S. government is interfering with doctors and their research. 

In times like this, it couldn't be more important for Canadian governments and agencies to respect the independence of physicians and scientists. https://t.co/d7niLLzeza

[Dr. Joss Reimer @jossreimer]

Canada needs to prioritize filling in the gaps in our health system. Physicians should be able to move from province to province - without applying for a new, costly license.

[Dr. Joss Reimer @jossreimer]

Although tangible progress can be seen through our leadership, there is still so much work to be done to dismantle systemic anti-Black racism in medicine. Hear from Dr. Ogunyemi and other Black physicians: https://t.co/dzaNjEx8bs

[Dr. Joss Reimer @jossreimer]

As #BlackHistoryMonth comes to an end, I want to take a moment to look to the future of @cma_docs. @BoluOgunyemi1 will make history as the CMA's 1st Black president. He has an impressive track record in medical leadership, and I look forward to collaborating in our advocacy.
