Summer 2021
President 2021-2022
Dear members and colleagues,
Last month at ACSC I sworn in as the new SOGC President. During my tenure as President, my objective is to begin a pan-Canadian dialogue on collaborative care. I believe that the future of health care is high-quality inter-professional practice. These goals can pull us apart, but I believe that they can be held simultaneously. I am hoping to start a dialogue across the country looking at what is working well in a collaborative care model and what the challenges are. I know this will vary across the country, with different challenges and successes probably a lot of similarities. Whether you are an obstetrician, gynaecologist, nurse or mid-wife by working in tandem with one another we can both improve and strengthen women’s health.
I would like to thank my predecessor Dr. Elio Dario Garcia for his contributions in his role as President. I have been impressed and inspired by his attention to detail, decisiveness and his respectful maternity care and informed consent initiatives.
And lastly, I want to thank everyone for making ACSC a resounding success. Your contributions and participation are greatly appreciated. Please note that the recordings will be accessible until September 6 from anywhere in the world. You can watch at your convenience throughout the summer and earn a total of 46 MOC credits.
Best wishes,
Dr. Maggie Morris
