Bolu Ogunyemi, a Nigerian-born clinical associate professor of medicine at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, has been elected as president of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA).

Ogunyemi, a dermatologist at St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, becomes the first black person to be elected to the position in 158 years of the association, after defeating his opponent, Susan MacDonald.

He will represent the CMA in the media, provincial and territorial medical associations, government, and other partner organisations in Canada.

Ogunyemi served as the inaugural assistant dean of social accountability from 2020 to 2023 and is also a member of the Labrador Medical Association Board of Directors.

He completed his fellowship in health services improvement in 2024 from the University of Alberta’s School of Public Health.

Ogunyemi will serve as president-elect, pending his approval by CMA’s general council in May 2025, when he will become the association’s president for a one-year term.

Speaking after the election, Ogunyemi promised to use his position to advocate for a robust healthcare system in the country.

“My track record in medical leadership, spanning 15 years, has provided me with expertise on pressing issues facing our health care system today,” he said.

“As CMA president-elect, I will advocate for a unified and respected profession, a robust health care system, and healthier communities.”

Nigerians in Canada are doing really great. That's the importance of ensuring that only skilled amd responsible migrants are allowed in, not cultists and drug dealers.

Nice development! Congratulations sir.

Only skilled Nigerians, not the useless ones.

Congratulations to another Omoluabi. Yoruba people no dey travel, den no like hard work. Na to do agboro and owomida. Sure say dis one na Yoruba?



Says the detractors.

Would the news bring down fuel in Nigeria to where buhari left it? BTW he was elected to the board not appointed based on academic records. In western world not much importance is attached to these things as it Carries no extra monetary compensation but extra work. Let us not distract ourselves from our own nation where a mandate thief hijacked what would have been a free and fair election like in Canada and totally destroyed the country without any hope. Congratulations to the Omualabi, nothing concerns him with mandate thief and his total failure

Congratulations... This is the excellence that can be found in any Nigerian who puts in effort to become good at whatever he or she is doing. May every honest and hardworking Nigerian keep on rising to the top.

God bless Nigeria
