Doctors Manitoba exists to strengthen and support the whole physician, so every physician has what they need to deliver exceptional care to Manitobans. 

Our organization is governed by a Board of Directors, elected by our membership. Guided by our new strategic plan, the Board sets the direction based on the priorities identified by members.
