The Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) is a not-for-profit association, incorporated by an Act of Parliament. Founded in 1901, the CMPA emerged from a need for physicians to work together to support their physician colleagues.
The CMPA’s tag line, Empowering Better Healthcare, underscores our enduring commitment to assist members in reducing their medical-legal risk and to contribute to improvements in the safety of care.
What CMPA does
At the CMPA, we are committed to service excellence in all that we do — for our members and for Canadian healthcare.
This includes:
advice and assistance when medical-legal issues arise from a member’s medical professional work in Canada
compensation to patients proven to have been harmed by negligent care
professional development programs and resources that help physicians provide safe care, manage risk, and be knowledgeable about their obligations
public policy, submissions, and responses relating to medical-legal matters that impact physicians’ practice and the Canadian medical liability system
