Reporting to the Vice President, Medicine and Academic Affairs (VPMAA), the Executive Director, Medical and Academic Affairs (EDMA) plays a pivotal role in providing senior leadership to the VCH Medical Affairs department. As part of a collaborative team this role partners with Senior Medical Directors (SMDs) and the Executive Director of NP, Midwives and Dentists to set a culture, expectation, and accountability of patient quality and safety.
