Sections work to represent the clinical and economic interests of members from the same specialty (i.e. the Section of Pediatrics, Section of Neurology, etc.). Each section has a representative who receives information from the NBMS related to their specialty and communicates with the society on specialty-related issues.
The section representatives form groups known as councils. For example, the Specialty Council represents all specialists in the province, and the Family Medicine Specialty Council represents all family physicians.
The Family Medicine and Specialty Councils advise the NBMS Board of Directors concerning clinical issues, policy, and economic issues that affect their respective members and the health of their patients. They also help set the fee distribution process and identify new service items.
