2022 – A Year in Review and Outlook for 2023

December 20, 2022

CAR President Dr. Gilles Soulez Shares Highlights from This Past Year
The last two years have been challenging for the radiology community. The pandemic had a dramatic impact on healthcare delivery and changed the way radiologists practice. It also exacerbated the extensive wait times experienced by patients for medical imaging. Even with procedures returning to full capacity, pandemic protocols, while necessary, have added to the time it takes to complete medical imaging tests. Read More

Summer Presidential Update – Your Membership Matters

August 24, 2022

With the warmer weather upon us, for many of our members the focus is on summer vacations. I hope that you have been able to get away from work to recharge your batteries.

CAR’s Outlook for 2021

January 22, 2021

Dr. Mike Barry

A community comes together in response to the pandemic challenge and is stronger.

As we wrap up an incredibly challenging year, the CAR looks forward to new opportunities for 2021. In the last year I have heard from our members across the country about the many trials and tribulations caused by the pandemic. I have been moved by our members’ resilience in the face of this adversity. If there is a silver lining to 2020, it was seeing so many members step forward to lead their departments, hospitals, and provincial responses to managing the virus. Sharing this experience among the radiology community and constructively moving forward is the goal of the CAR. Read More

2020 – A Year in Review and Outlook for 2021

December 17, 2020

Dr. Mike Barry presents to the Standing Committee on Health via computer Dr. Mike Barry, CAR President, shares highlights from 2020 2020 has been a challenging year for healthcare, particularly for the radiology community. The pandemic not only changed our practices but also added to the extensive waitlists experienced by patients for medical imaging. With many procedures being scaled back by 30-50% at the height of the pandemic, patients are now waiting even longer than before, creating a dire situation for imaging in Canada. CAR members demonstrated leadership during this difficult time and as a result I believe the CAR emerged as one of the leading specialty societies in the pandemic response. Read More

Speaking with a united voice – proposed tax changes

August 11, 2017

A message from Dr. Emil Lee, President of the CAR Dear CAR members, As the CAR continues to advocate on behalf of radiologists regarding the proposed tax reforms to CCPCs, we would like to draw your attention to the recent statement released by the President of the CMA, Dr. Granger Avery. As Dr. Avery stated: “nothing is more effective than individual doctors talking directly to their local politicians. We have a short window to make ourselves heard, and I urge each one of you to write, call and meet with your local MP and your provincial or territorial representative (MPP, MLA, MNA, etc.). The CMA has key messages to augment your own compelling personal narrative, which highlight the consequences this will have for you and your patients.” Read More
