Making Sure you're Covered

The pandemic is changing the way we all practice. To inform members on expectations around insurance, the RMTBC has recorded a short webinar with Nikki Keith, vice president at Wilson Beck, and Carlyle Machinski, account manager. The webinar is available on the members only section COVID-19 Resource Page.

The original COVID-19 Resource Page remains publicly available and is regularly updated at rmtbc.ca/covid.
