Saskatchewan Medical Association ( Sma ), Saskatoon, SK

The Saskatchewan Medical Association was first organized on August 20, 1905 without legal charter. In 1933, the organization incorporated under the Societies Act of Saskatchewan. However, six months later, a joint meeting was held with the Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which had also been formed in the early years of the province, to discuss merging the two organizations.
In January 1934, a special legislative committee was appointed by a joint meeting of the two bodies and this committee reported to the Annual Meeting in September of 1936. In its report, the Committee pointed out that the Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan had been given statutory functions by The Medical Act for registration, licencing, and discipline. Council, however, had expanded some of its activities within recent years and transacted business with governments and with other organized bodies on behalf of the profession.
The Council of the day did not report these decisions and negotiations to the profession because the Act did not call for an Annual Meeting of the College. At the same time, the Saskatchewan Medical Association was holding annual meetings and trying to conduct business on behalf of the profession. The natural result was that there developed a conflict of authority and jurisdiction between the College and the Association and a distinct haziness as to the duties and responsibilities which each should assume.
The demands placed upon the SMA by its members and by the various agencies with which it interacts have increased steadily over the years. When it began in 1967, the SMA had a staff of three. Today, 20 people manage various beneficial programs for our membership. As the health and medical care environment continues to change, the SMA will continue to change with it. History has shown that the SMA is a resilient body.
