Ontario Association of General Surgeons (OAGS)

The Ontario Association of General Surgeons (OAGS) is a non-profit organization that represents general surgeons throughout the province of Ontario. It was originally created in 1996 out of the necessity for an independent organization to represent and articulate the concerns of General Surgeons within the structure of the Ontario Medical Association. The OMA Section Chair at that time, Dr. Ciaran Kealy of Sudbury, and his executive spearheaded this splinter group with the important objective of the O.A.G.S. to be that of liaison with other groups and cutting specialties that will affect the practice and fee relativity of General Surgery in the province.
