Time flies. Twenty years ago this fall, our organization was born as a political response to the
frustrations and rancor of dealing with the Bob
Rae government. Although we still play an active
political role, our AGM has evolved into a leading educational forum that focuses on practical
advice for common clinical and administrative issues facing practicing General Surgeons. The AGM
Committee strives to make this meeting relevant
and targeted to this group. I strongly believe that
you are more likely to learn something new that
will change your practice at our AGM than at any
Dr. Chris Vinden
national meeting. True to our roots, we also keep
you informed about how government initiatives impact on our membership. I
look forward to seeing you on Nov. 1st for our 20th meeting.
