About the MD Program
MD Program Website
The MD Program is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) and offered in two sites, Edmonton and Grande Prairie. We foster a supportive and collaborative learning and work environment for students, faculty, and staff. The MD Program works with the Wâpanachakos Indigenous Health Program, the Office of Rural and Regional Health, the Black Health Lead, the Social Accountability Lead, the Office of Professionalism, the Office of Advocacy and Wellbeing, and many others across the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry to achieve our mission.
As we move forward together, our strategic plan reflects the shared vision, mission and values of all who contributed to the plan.
With our communities, inspired through learning, serving society
Our medical school develops diverse, competent and compassionate physician leaders to serve the health needs of Alberta, northern communities and Canada through adaptive innovation and social accountability.
In all our interactions with students, learners, staff, instructors, care providers and patients, we value:
Well-being: Every individual is a valued and respected member of our educational community; therefore, we actively promote, support and value well-being
Compassion: Exhibiting compassion will foster well-being, empathy and understanding
Cultural Safety: A respectful learning and work environment supports positive collaboration and communication, addressing power imbalances in the learning and work environment
Diverse Perspectives: Diverse perspectives count in the partnership of all individuals and communities; therefore, we actively practice anti-racism, anti-oppression and decolonization principles at all levels of the program
Health Equity: We seek to address health inequities through active innovation in our admissions process, educational practices and advocacy
Growth: We believe that our development as individuals and as an organization is essential; therefore, we learn from mistakes that embody adaptive innovation and quality improvement
