Required Qualifications:

This posting is only open to Canadian Citizens, Permanent Residents of Canada and individuals with open work permits. Candidates must submit a CV and Clinical Assistant Eligibility Pre-Screen Letter from AHS with their application. Incomplete applications will not be considered. The successful applicant will be responsible for registering and maintaining professional licensure with the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA). CA's 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. Please access the pre-screening application online (http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/medstaff/Page7094.aspx). NOTE: pre-screening does not guarantee an interview or job offer and a final determination of license eligibility is only made by the CPSA after the successful candidate has applied for licensure; pre-screening does not guarantee the successful candidate will be licensed. As well, applicants must be able to satisfy the CPSA's criteria for registration as a CA. Final determination is only made by the CPSA when registration is initiated for the successful job applicant.

Additional Required Qualifications:

The criteria includes the following (please review the detailed definitions on the CPSA's website https://cpsa.ca/physicians/registration/apply-for-limited-practice/). 1. Medical Degree. 2. Postgraduate Training (must be hospital-based training in clinical services providing direct patient care interaction in the acute care setting). 3. Medical Council of Canada's Qualifying Exam Part 1 (MCCQE1). 4. Proof of English Language Proficiency. 5. Letter of Offer from AHS (AHS will provide confirmation to the CPSA and initiate the registration process for the successful applicant). 6. Successful completion of AHS's CA orientation program (successful applicant will receive an Orientation & Assessment once registered with the CPSA). 7. Demonstrate currency of practice to the satisfaction of the CPSA. Within the last three years, physicians need to have practiced independently, been in a regulated, supervised practice (in a role where the physician was not the most responsible physician) or been a part of a continuous postgraduate training program for a minimum of one year in the discipline you want to enter in Alberta. Fellowship training, community service, public service, national service, Medical Officer posts and practice experience do not fulfil this requirement.

Preferred Qualifications:

Preference will be given to applicants who have recent experience in an acute care facility. Prior experience working as a Clinical Assistant in a Canadian health care setting is an asset.
