Update: Alberta wildfires
July 23, 2024
We are thinking of our colleagues who are under evacuation orders due to wildfires near Jasper and in northern parts of our province. We hope that this situation won’t last long and that you, your patients and neighbours can return home soon.
If you are a physician, resident physician or medical student who has been evacuated from your home or practice and require support, contact us at amamail@albertadoctors.org and type “Fire Help” in the subject line. AMA staff are actively monitoring and will be in touch right away.
