About Us

Goals

The College Council has set four goals that identify Council’s expectations for the work done by the College: 

  1. The public receives safe and effective medical care from competent physicians.
  2. The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta is a trusted contributor to public policy affecting health care.
  3. The College is an essential partner in a patient-centred health care system.
  4. The College is a trusted resource to Albertans (public and others) when they have questions or concerns about medical practice.

How we plan to achieve our goals:

  1. Ensure that physicians are competent throughout their careers.
  2. Contribute to a high-level health system view and to leadership in designing and implementing new models of care.
  3. Ensure there is a deep and mutual understanding among all the players in health care of the CPSA’s role and capacity.
  4. Participate with partner organizations in using evidence to bring about a culture change. 
  5. Maintain a healthy organization and effective processes to support our legislated mandate and the other strategies identified.
