In a competent and professional manner, the CMD must possess a Zone-wide perspective and an approach to leadership by contributing to the broader AHS vision. The CMD will promote an environment that fosters quality improvement, a safe, culturally-diverse environment for staff, physicians and patients and a commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression.

  • Meet with your operational DYAD partners and Department Heads regularly
