The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) regulates the practice of medicine in Alberta. Specifically, they regulate physicians, surgeons, osteopaths and physician assistants.
 
Much like a provincial registry’s role to make sure anyone with a driver’s licence is safe to be on the road, CPSA issues practice permits to regulated members, confirming they are professional, ethical and competent, and have the right qualifications, education and experience to provide the highest quality care for patients in our province.
 
CPSA also manages complaints involving regulated members; supports continuing competency in practice; sets the minimum standards for professional and ethical behaviour for regulated members; and accredits healthcare facilities.
 
In this recorded session, Members of CPSA’s Executive team shared more about their role in physician recruitment and they discussed how they're working to accelerate registration for eligible internationally-trained physicians.
