Who sits on CPSA Council?
A combination of physicians, Albertans and learners all bring their unique experiences and perspectives to CPSA Council:
- Physician members, elected by their medical colleagues
- Public members, appointed by Alberta’s Lieutenant-Governor in Council
- Medical school Deans from the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary
- Medical students and residents (non-voting observers)
