The CMD is accountable for all physician-related matters, as well as all operational and strategic issues and decisions requiring physician input or leadership that arises within their community.

Significant decisions and recommendations are made jointly, and there is considerable overlap in the accountability of the two partners.

In a competent and professional manner, the CMD must possess a Zone-wide perspective and an approach to leadership by contributing to the broader AHS vision. The CMD will promote an environment that fosters quality improvement, a safe, culturally-diverse environment for staff, physicians and patients and a commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression. 

 

Key Responsibilities are:

  • Meet with your operational DYAD partners and Department Heads regularly
  • Leadership development of medical leaders
  • Attend North Zone Senior Leadership meetings as required
  • Attend Medical Staff Meetings
  • Periodic reviews for Department Heads (every 3 years, or annual for staff > 65 years old) at request of Zone Medical Director
