About SMA
Who We Are
The Saskatchewan Medical Association is a voluntary professional association for physicians in Saskatchewan, where over 90 per cent of physicians are members. The SMA also represents the vast majority of medical students and residents training in Saskatchewan.
We represent the collective view of the medical profession in Saskatchewan, and negotiate for and on behalf of fee-for-service, salaried and alternate payment physicians.

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather and work is Treaty 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 territories, and the Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respects to the traditional caretakers of this land. We affirm our commitment to reconciliation; our shared stewardship of the land; and our relationship with one another. We honour First Nations and Métis peoples’ histories and cultures and commit to working together to address the gaps in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

We advance the honour and integrity of the medical profession; advance the professional, personal, educational, and economic welfare of Saskatchewan physicians; and promote a high- quality, patient-centred health care system.
