Abstract
Health advocacy is an expectation of all Canadian physicians according to the CanMEDS framework, which defines necessary competencies for medical practice in Canada. Whether advocacy work specifically as activism is a professional responsibility is debated by physicians and is not adequately addressed in previous literature.
