These links needs to be maintained and strengthened to include other Chapters across the country. With the President of the Canadian Medical Association due to be appointed from Ontario in the summer of 2014, this is an ideal opportunity to increase dialogue between the two major national organizations using Ontario as a base. The link between the Ontario University and Community Physicians is ripe for strengthening as Social Media communications increases. Issues relevant to the membership can be brought to the attention of the Chapter quickly and dealt with in a timely manner, enhancing the relevance of the ACP to the Ontario membership. Furthermore using such rapid communication techniques, Medical Student and Trainee interest can be engaged, and educational opportunities increased.
