Alberta Health Services is seeking an Emergency Medicine Specialist to practise at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre (RDRHC) Emergency Room. The department has a great mix of acuity with a supportive community of medical doctors, healthcare staff, and local consultant support for most specialties. The successful candidate is expected to fulfil the clinical patient-care and administrative duties of this role.

This position is open for sponsorship for international medical graduates (IMGs). Candidates must hold a valid Letter of Eligibility through College of Physicians of Alberta (CPSA). To apply, please visit their website: Apply for Independent Practice - College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta | CPSA.

On January 16, 2023, CPSA launched a 5-year pilot project to condense the Practice Readiness Assessment process for IMGs with training comparable to that obtained in Canadian universities, as identified by experts in postgraduate medical training. The goal of the pilot is to evaluate whether certain IMGs may begin independently practising in their identified communities faster, while still ensuring patient safety is the top priority.
