Message from Dr. Shirley Schipper
Residency Program Director
Welcome to Family Medicine
The Family Medicine Residency Program at the University of Alberta is committed to producing excellent Family Physicians who will take pride in their Specialty wherever they chose to serve the needs of Albertans, Canadians and the World.
With a huge University and Community academic and clinical resource base, the program offers a core Family Medicine Training Program education in settings ranging from the inner city to the most remote communities; from the academic rigor of the Health Sciences research practices to the compelling action of the small town Emergency Department.
The Department of Family Medicine also offers nationally accredited PGY 3 programs in Care of the Elderly, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia and additional skills training in other areas.
In Family Medicine, you can truly become the Physician You Want To Be.
