The "voice of the AMA" – Published regularly throughout the year, the President's Letter informs you about Alberta Medical Association positions on key and complex issues in Alberta’s health care.
Read the October 23 President's Letter
Here is AMA Fact Checkup – Issue 2. In this issue, we check and correct government on statements they have made.
Every day, misinformation about the health care system – often coming from government talking points – gets amplified and repeated in media coverage and on social media. For physicians, evidence matters. The barrage of misleading commentary is beyond frustrating.
Today we are launching a major advertising campaign.
The main message is this: Government is not listening to physicians. Decisions are being made without application of relevant expertise. Our system needs informed reform.
This is my first President’s Letter. I am honoured to take on this role. I will have your back and fight with everything I’ve got.

The Representative Forum gathers this Friday and Saturday, September 20 and 21 in Calgary. We always count on the RF for its wise guidance to the Board of Directors in terms of future direction and our plans and strategies. This meeting promises to be one of the most important we have seen in some time.
Today we launched the third topic in our Acute Care Concerns advocacy series.
As we push to get the Physician Comprehensive Care Model over the finish line and continue to call for immediate stabilization of our collapsing acute care system, we know that investment in health care matters. It not only matters, it’s critical.
After many months of intense work and consultation with member stakeholders and web experts, I am thrilled to let you know that the AMA has launched a new and improved website.
The urgency is real and compounding. We need the Physician Comprehensive Care Model approved, formally announced and implemented before fall.
