President-elect: Ottawa, Ontario, internist Dr. Jeff Turnbull has been selected president-elect of the Canadian Medical Association for 2010/11. Turnbull, who emerged as the victor in a 3-candidate contest, is chief of staff at the Ottawa Hospital and a past president of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. If ratified at this year's CMA conference, to be held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Turnbull will assume presidential duties in August 2010.

Rights review: Some 68 countries stepped up with criticisms of Canada's human rights record during a United Nations Human Rights Council review last month in Geneva, Switzerland. The Draft Report on the Working Group of the Universal Periodic Review indicates that Canada's treatment of its indigenous peoples prompts the most concern, with several states urging that Canada reverse its opposition to the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
