Book Description:

The Canadian health care system is undergoing fundamental restructuring that will necessitate important changes in doctors' professional roles. Rather than resisting such changes, as has happened on occasion in the past, S.E.D. Shortt, a practising physician for two decades, argues that doctors could make significant contributions to the design and operation of a new system of health care and should become involved in the process.
