ONE OFFICE: TWO PRESIDENTS

An interesting bit of trivia which discloses the close connection between the OMA & CPSO (College Phys.& Surgeons of Ontario) are the following facts:

2009/2010 CPSO President was North-West Toronto GP Oscar Jack MANDEL MD(Tor.72) aet 65y +/-
1993 Finch Avenue West,
Downsview,Ont. M3N 2X3
416 745 4555
according to web has 15 employees.

2009/2010 OMA President was North-West Toronto GP Suzanne Robin STRASBERG MD(Tor.92) aet 45y +/-
1993 Finch Avenue West
Downsview,Ont. M3N 2X3
416 745 4555

Not to be confused with,(also in the same practice) GP Jessica Eizabeth Strasberg MD (McMaster 05)  aet 31y +/-

This may be the background behind the new OMA by-law that blocks retired doctors from Elected OMA posts unless they pay $1400 a year for CPSO registration. With an ageing medical pipulation the CPSO may be worried about a loss of income. The UK GMC has a more modest fee for retired doctors of abour $350 a year. In USA most States charge about $300 a year licence fee..

OMA new rule attacks retired members.

OMA new rule attacks retired members.

The OMA Board has decreed that doctors who do not renew their CPSO licence are not eligible for any elected position.

There was no explanation for this decision. The Proposer,Seconder and voting is not published.

It is known that many OMA Committee members are also on well-paid CPSO committees.
