I read with some alarm CMAJ's recent profile of our new president, Dana Hanson,1 and your statement that “he will become the first Dalhousie University medical school alumnus to head the CMA.”
Have we so soon forgotten Robert O. Jones, who became the first and only psychiatrist to hold this position in 1965? Or more recently my esteemed cousin, Athol Roberts of Charlottetown, who was elected president in 1987?
