We are in the dog days of summer as this update from Manitoba is written. We have been enjoying the summer weather with time off with family at our respective cottages, from Lake of the Woods and the Whiteshell in the east, to Riding Mountain National Park in the western part of the province.

Since our last CRAJ update, we are proud to report that the rheumatology section, in conjunction with Doctors Manitoba, has been able to successfully negotiate changes in our collective agreement with Manitoba Health. These changes help reflect the complexity of rheumatologic care and allow Manitoba rheumatologists to better care for our patients. We hope that these changes help make Manitoba a more attractive location for colleagues to join us. There are positions open in both the community and at the University of Manitoba, and we would love to welcome you.
