Organization

CAM is a "centre without walls". Apart from a small secretariat, the CAM consists of "fellows" or "associates" who are affiliated with the CAM on an ad hoc basis to pursue special projects. Senior Fellows of CAM are distinguished scholars who have a continuing appointment in the Centre. They have special scholarly and developmental interests of their own but may, from time to time, provide advice and assistance in connection with special projects.

The Director of CAM is Dr. Arnold Naimark who is advised by a Council chaired by the Dean of Medicine.

The currently appointed Senior Fellows are:

Dr. Aubie Angel, Professor of Medicine, University of Manitoba

Dr. Nicholas Anthonisen, Dean Emeritus and Professor of Medicine, University of Manitoba

Dr. Henry G. Friesen, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the University of Manitoba

Dr. John Wade, Dean Emeritus, University of Manitoba
