1/ As I complete my term as president @CMA_Docs I want to extend a deep thank you to my colleagues 🙏🏼

I am proud to be a physician and to have had the opportunity to represent you during this incredible time in history

I am inspired by your advocacy and value your friendship

2/ Your words of support made all the difference and kept me optimistic and hopeful during the past year

Our #healthcare system is the people and all of you are exceptional- skilled, compassionate and dedicated

You continue to show up for your patients and each other

3/ I am privileged to have been your voice and I learned so much

➡️We must continue to speak the truth
➡️Have the hard conversations
➡️Never choose silence
➡️Use our power and privilege in service of others (including each other)

4/ For me effective #leadership is rooted in kindness and curiosity, but never in fear

#Advocacy is my passion and I will continue to work with all of you to advance change

I look forward to leadership of my dear friend @AlikaMD - I know we are in good hands #AGM155
