Doctors’ input on digital and virtual health-related matters is essential to ensuring technology solutions that improve quality and delivery of patient care in BC. Opportunities for doctors to get involved directly and on behalf of Doctors of BC include:
- Ongoing member engagement: Doctors of BC regularly calls for members’ input online and in-person through:
- Meetings and group discussions
- Focus groups
- Surveys
- Online forums and comment boards
This is a key way in which your collective input informs and influences the policy and positions Doctors of BC uses to advocate with stakeholders on members behalf.
- Participation at national and provincial health system project tables: Doctors of BC supports and compensates doctors to engage on national and provincial health system projects. Opportunities will be listed here.
- Committee appointments: Doctors of BC directly appoints and compensates participation of doctor representatives on eight provincial digital and virtual health committees. Representatives are supported to bring forward the Association’s position and policy recommendations on key issues, which are informed by broader doctors’ input from the Doctors of BC membership.
