Advocacy
The BC Pediatric Society (BCPS) represents the economic interests of BC pediatricians as the Section of Pediatrics in the BC Medical Association (BCMA), and as the Section of Pediatrics at the Society of Specialty Physicians and Surgeons (SSPS). Physicians’ compensation is negotiated through a formal process between the BCMA and the BC Government. The BCPS is very active in preparing submissions for this process and working to correct disparities among the sections.
The BCPS is committed to the dual goal of continuing to improve the economic opportunities for pediatricians in the province as well as to improve upon the services delivered to the children of BC.
Over the past few years the efforts of the BCPS have been focused on income disparity correction, and to ensure pediatricians are paid well.
