Residents have access to $1250 for professional development.  Note, $350 of this needs pre-approval prior to usage:

$900 per year in Resident Professional Development (RPD) funding for professional development and training purposes deposited to you directly by PGME

• Starting for the 2023-2024 academic year, the PGME office will be distributing the eligible allocation to each resident through Bear Tracks in the fall. Residents are eligible for $900 per appointment year. If program length is less than one year, these funds will be prorated to the number of months. Contingent on ministry funding, the maximum allowable amount per resident is equal to the standard length of the training program.

• By accepting these funds the resident is agreeing to only use the funds for eligible expenses. Residents must ensure their personal and banking information is current in Bear Tracks. It is the responsibility of each resident to keep receipts supporting the funding received and associated spending in case the University of Alberta requires documentation for audit purposes.

These funds are eligible for the following expenses:

• • Conference and Workshop expenses (registration, travel, accommodations) 

**Friendly reminder: if you are presenting, you can apply for funding through WCHRI/TOPP (see details below)**

• • Textbooks

  • Educational and/or Stats Software

  • Professional Memberships (if allows access to free or reduced cost professional development opportunities)
