Dr. Padraic E. Carr, a psychiatrist based in Edmonton, has been acclaimed as the Alberta Medical Association's (AMA's) 2015-16 president-elect.

The AMA Nominating Committee announced Dr. Carr's selection in March, and a call for nominations went to AMA members in May. The AMA Constitution and Bylaws allows for an election by mail-in ballot if other president-elect candidates step forward, but we have not received any additional nominations.

The 2015-16 president-elect's term begins on September 26 at the adjournment of the annual general meeting in Edmonton, when the current president-elect Dr. Carl W. Nohr becomes president.

 

The AMA advances patient-centered, quality care by advocating for and supporting physician leadership and wellness.
