Candidates must submit Curriculum Vitae and Associate Physician Eligibility Pre-Screen Letter from AHS with their application. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Successful applicant will be responsible for registering & maintaining professional licensure with the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta. Associate Physicians must meet certain licensure requirements; therefore, AHS provides a pre-screening process to help ensure interested individuals satisfy the minimum requirements to be eligible for registration by the CPSA. Access the pre-screening application online (http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/medstaff/Page7094.aspx). NOTE: pre-screening doesn't guarantee an interview or job offer and final determination of license eligibility is only made by the CPSA after the successful candidate has applied for licensure; pre-screening doesn't guarantee the successful candidate will be licensed. Applicants must be eligible to work in Canada (e.g. Canadian citizens, permanent residents, individuals with open work permits). Applicants must satisfy the CPSA's criteria for registration as an Associate Physician.
Additional Required Qualifications:
AHS's pre-screening process reviews applicants for this criterion, but a final determination is only made by the CPSA when registration is initiated for the successful job applicant. The criteria include the following (please review the detailed definitions on the CPSA's website https://cpsa.ca/physicians/registration/apply-for-limited-practice/) Medical Degree. Postgraduate Training (must be hospital-based training in clinical services providing direct patient care interaction in acute care setting). Medical Council of Canada's Qualifying Exam Part 1. Proof of English Language Proficiency (if trained in a country where English is not the 1st/native language, even if it was the language of instruction). Letter of Offer from AHS (AHS will provide confirmation to the CPSA and initiate the registration process for the successful applicant in our job search). Completion of AHS's Clinical Assistant orientation program (successful applicant will receive Orientation & Assessment once registered with the CPSA). Demonstrate currency of practice. Within the last 3 years, physicians need to have practiced independently, been in a regulated, supervised practice (in a role where the physician wasn't the most responsible physician) or a part of continuous postgraduate training program for a minimum of 1 year in the discipline you want to enter.v
Preferred Qualifications:
Preference will be given to applicants who have recent experience in an acute care facility. Prior experience working as an Associate Physician in a Canadian health care setting in Addiction & Mental Health is an asset.
