OMA CRUISE

DARA is pleased to announce that The Ontario Medical Association has taken the honourable, moral, and correct course of action pertaining to the upcoming CME cruise to Dubai and United Arab Emirates.

Last week, DARA contacted The OMA and expressed its concern that Israeli nationals would not be allowed to participate in the conference, in direct contravention to the OMA’s core value of “Treating everyone with respect, dignity, and integrity”. As a direct result of DARA’s action, the OMA has decided to no longer sponsor the CME event.

The Executive of DARA wishes to thank the OMA for taking this action, and commend them for upholding principles of non-discrimination and intolerance to racism.

The OMA has already notified their partner, Seas Courses Cruises, and will be notifying those physicians who have confirmed attendance of the situation. A new CME Travel date will be arranged.

The DARA Executive wishes to thank its members for their input on this matter.

Attached is the letter to the OMA.

Sincerely,

The Executive
