Our governing bodies
Doctors of BC's governance model has a dual-structure:
- Our Representative Assembly (RA) ensures members’ views are fully represented. The 108-member Representative Assembly provides wide-ranging representation from all geographical areas of the province, family physicians and specialists, those practicing in rural and First Nations communities, medical students, residents, members in their early years of practice, and the Canadian Medical Association.
- Our Board of Directors has the legal and fiduciary responsibility to manage the affairs of the Association. The nine-person Board oversees the activities and internal affairs of the Association and sets strategic direction and policy.
The two bodies strike a balance between an efficient, nimble governance body (the Board), and a body that will ensure members’ views are fully represented (the RA).
