Associate Physician

The Alberta Clinical and Surgical Assistant Program (ACSAP) provides International Medical Graduates (IMGs) with an alternate career path to become a associate physician. After successfully completing the required six-month assessment and evaluation, this program can lead to a permanent full-time acute care coverage role.

Associate physicians perform patient assessments, document patient history, and develop treatment plans in consultation with the attending physician to make a difference every day.
