President’s Tour
Every year, the NLMA meets with physicians as part of the President’s Tour to provide members with an opportunity to share their thoughts and raise any region-specific issues for discussion. Learners are also welcome to attend.
The NLMA President’s Tour provides members throughout the province with an
opportunity to:
- Meet their current NLMA President as well as the Executive Director of the Association
- Receive an update on the status of negotiations/arbitration
- Discuss priority issues for the Association
- Identify member questions or concerns
- Network with colleagues in your local branch (including surrounding communities)
All members are encouraged to attend this annual opportunity to actively participate in the work of the NLMA. Dates and communities are listed below. The NLMA will hold a virtual President’s Tour meeting for those not able to attend one of the in-person tour stops.
Dr. Steve Major, MD
Dr. Stephen Major is a family physician who has practised medicine in Newfoundland and Labrador for almost 30 years.
He was born in St. John’s to parents Rev. Carl Major, an Anglican minister from Stephenville, and Norma Scott from Bay L’Argent on the Burin Peninsula. Throughout his childhood he travelled with his family, living in Antigua, Toronto, Whitbourne, Trinidad and Tobago before attending High School in Bay Roberts.
In 1999, Dr. Major relocated to St. John’s and started his practice at the Campbell Medical Group where he continues to practice to this day. Outside of his regular clinic hours he reserves one day a week for visiting his patients in nursing homes and making house calls.
He has also spent more than 20 years working as an emergency room physician, taking a hiatus in 2023 while serving on the Board of the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association (NLMA).
On June 8, 2024, Dr. Major was installed as the 99th president of the NLMA.
