We need and value the Indigenous Peoples who are part of Alberta Health Services (AHS).
They lend an important perspective in all settings including clinical, corporate, cultural, and more. It's important that our workforce reflects the people we serve and we're committed to building an Indigenous workforce to improve health outcomes and patient experience for all Albertans. AHS is proud of the many opportunities and paths that can lead to a fulfilling career in healthcare for Indigenous Peoples across our province.
We can answer questions about future career paths, help you build your candidate profile, and provide feedback on your resume.
