Spousal Activities

We offer a range of activities throughout the year, such as:

  • Local get-togethers (within your town, city or region) such as luncheons, guest-speaker events or other social activities through local recruitment and retention committees.
  • Events at medical conferences, to give accompanying spouses (and often, children) a chance to meet their counterparts from across the province.
  • Referrals to services and resources, such as counseling support, immigration services, and the Physician and Family Support Program of the Alberta Medical Association.

Interested in an event for your community? Get in touch with us and we’ll plan something!
