Welcome to the website and registry of the Canadian Doctors Orchestra / Orchestre des médecins du Canada (CDO/OMC). By accessing our website or registering as a potential member, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions.

​

1. The Nature of the Initiative

The CDO is currently an emerging foundational initiative. By registering your interest, you acknowledge that:

  • The CDO is in the developmental phase and participation in the registry does not guarantee a seat in a future ensemble.

  • The "residency" model and gala performances described are goals for the near future and are subject to funding, logistics, and member interest.

 

2. Eligibility for Membership

To participate in the CDO as a musician, you must be:

  • A licensed physician (MD or equivalent) in good standing in a Canadian province or territory; or

  • An active medical resident or medical student currently enrolled in a Canadian faculty of medicine.

  • Verification: We reserve the right to verify professional standing or student status before confirming participation in any performance or residency.

 

3. Use of the Registry

The CDO registry is intended for professional networking and orchestral recruitment only.

  • Accuracy: You agree to provide accurate and truthful information regarding your medical credentials and musical experience.

  • Prohibited Use: You may not use this platform to solicit medical advice, promote pharmaceutical products, or engage in any commercial activity unrelated to the CDO’s mission.

  • Professional Advice: Content on this site is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical or legal advice.

 

6. Code of Conduct

The CDO is dedicated to physician wellness and peer-to-peer connection. We maintain a "zero-tolerance" policy for harassment, discrimination, or unprofessional behavior. We reserve the right to remove any individual from our registry or future ensembles who fails to uphold the professional standards expected of the Canadian medical community.
