Professional Development

Medical Staff

From providing individual patient care to contributing to the overall improvement of our province’s healthcare system, Practitioners in Alberta have a great deal of responsibility and very little spare time. However, in addition to their clinical care responsibilities, AHS Practitioners are also expected to adhere to the Medical Staff Bylaws and other Clinical and Corporate Policies that outline processes and procedures for practicing in AHS facilities.

In order to help support Practitioners learn more about these processes and procedures, information and resources segregated by topic have been provided below.

Leadership Curriculum

Medical Affairs understands the pivotal role physician leaders play in the success and effectiveness of AHS. In order to support our medical leaders develop a wide range of skills and experience, AHS has created the Medical Leadership Curriculum which can assist you in creating individual development plans.
