The first woman to hold the job of Manitoba's health minister has been named as the new head of the group representing more than three-thousand doctors in the province.
Doctors Manitoba has announced Theresa Oswald will take over as the organization's chief executive officer starting in January.
The organization says Oswald is a widely respected leader and few can match her knowledge or her contacts in the health-care system.
The former New Democrat M-L-A was minister of health from 2006 to 2013.
