President's Letter
Dear Members,
The Fall Representative Forum marked a major milestone in terms of the AMA’s Income Equity Initiative. Delegates expressed strong support for IEI and use of the Income Equity Measure to guide AMA decision making. The following motion was passed:
THAT the RF approves for ratification the use of the Income Equity Measure to inform policy development.
In terms of next steps, a dispute resolution process will be developed to allow economic sections to bring forward any errors or omissions they may have with respect to the studies or measure. When that process is complete, then the initiative will be brought to membership for a ratification vote in 2024.
We will keep you updated as things progress. In the meantime, if you’d like further information about the initiative please visit the IEI section of the AMA website (member login required).
You are always welcome to share your thoughts with me. You can email me via president@albertadoctors.org. You can also comment on this letter on the AMA website.
Regards,
fred Rinaldi, MD, CCFP, FCFP, LLB, MBA, MPA(HSA), BCom
