Support and Advice to Medical Staff Association
Accepting the privilege of election to the Medical Staff Association Executive is a serious commitment which places a duty on its representatives to be the voice of the medical staff individually and collectively throughout all levels of management and administration.
A reasonably comprehensive understanding of the Public Hospitals Act, the Regulations and the bylaws of the hospital is an essential duty of the job. Legal advice for and to MSA representatives should be obtained from an independent advisor and not from hospital legal counsel in order to avoid compromising the MSA mandate and duty.
