Zone Medical Staff Associations are the local voice for 4,600 physicians in the North, Edmonton, Central, Calgary and South zones.
Advocating: We represent all physicians across Alberta in each zone. We organize to address patient care issues, health system changes and the medical profession. We represent member interests on Alberta Health Services Medical Staff Bylaws and Rules committees related to the medical leadership structure, medical staff appointments, clinical privileges, responsibilities and accountability, periodic reviews, and concerns.
Learning: We offer opportunities to our members that support their well-being, medical practice and leadership.
Connecting: We gather socially for physicians to build relationships. Fostering relationships with our colleagues builds better medical practice and brings us together as a profession.
