COVER OMA Delivers Strong Message to Politicians and the Public
|
FEATURES
| 7 | Editorial: OMA Maintains Strong Public Profile as Negotiations Resume “More Doctors. More Care.” is the theme of the new OMA campaign. Our message is simple, direct, and effective. The doctors of Ontario are seriously concerned about the ongoing effects of the physician shortage and the resulting impact on public access to timely, quality medical care. We have solutions and we are committed to work together with government to address the problems in the health-care system on a short-term and long-term basis. |
| 18 | Physician Shortage Threatening the Economic Well-being of Ontario Communities Ontario’s municipal leaders have joined the OMA in calling on the provincial government to take any measures necessary to ensure that every Ontarian has access to a family physician. |
| 25 | Professional Incorporation: a Physician Primer  The OMA Legal Services Department has prepared a three-step “primer” designed to assist physicians who are thinking about incorporating, have made the decision to incorporate but are not sure how to proceed, or who are already incorporated and seeking clarification as to how to fulfil their continuing obligations. |
| 33 | OMA Incorporation Service for Physicians Since its inception in January 2006, the OMA online Incorporation Service has assisted an estimated 3,000 members with the incorporation of their medical practice, and their annual Certificate of Authorization renewal with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. To date, more than 40 per cent of the incorporated physicians in Ontario have used the online service, making the OMA the single largest incorporator of physicians in the province. |
| 38 | Ontario Cervical Screening Program resources Available to Physicians The Ontario Cervical Screening Program (OCSP) is committed to supporting physicians’ efforts to increase awareness and screening participation rates among Ontario women. To this end, the OCSP offers a number of free resources designed to assist physicians with patient education. |
| 69 | OMA Honours 2008 Medical School Graduates The Ontario Medical Association recently published a full-page advertisement in the weekend edition of the National Post to express congratulations on behalf of the entire membership to the recent graduates from Ontario medical schools. A complete listing of graduates appears on pages 69-71. |
| 52 | Doctor’s Business: Estate Planning Tips for Canadians Who Own U.S. Assets Canadian residents who own assets in the United States — including vacation homes and financial products — may be subject to U.S. estate tax on their death. It is important to have an understanding of how this tax works in order to ensure that a proper estate plan is prepared. |
