Since its founding in 1898, the Vancouver Medical Association has educated, communicated, and advocated for Greater Vancouver’s medical community.

The story of the VMA will be developed on our History page.

Since 2012, the VMA has enjoyed a growing membership, up from 79 to over 400. We invite our local medical community to share camaraderie at our annual Osler Dinners where we recognize our Primum Inter Pares awardees.

Our Executive is looking for new and better ways for the VMA to make a difference. Our current Executive is:
