Three NB MDs in race to head CMA in 2002

Three past presidents of the New Brunswick Medical Society are vying to head the CMA in 2002/03. In the running are Dana Hanson, a Fredericton dermatologist and current speaker for the CMA‚s General Council, David Marr, a Saint John cardiologist, and Roger Roberge, a Moncton general surgeon. New Brunswick selects the president in 2002 because it is its turn to host the annual meeting. This will mark the sixth time a New Brunswick physician has headed the CMA, which was founded in 1867, and the first time since 1981. The election will take place in October via a mail-in ballot; all society members will be eligible to vote.
