Can a physician re-enter medical practice without re-applying?

Posted October 9, 2024

To be eligible for re-registration, a physician’s permit needs to have been inactive for 90 days or less. The physician must notify CPSA by emailing registration@cpsa.ab.ca and indicate their intention to reactivate their permit.

After 90 days, a physician must re-apply in full by submitting a Review of Qualifications through physiciansapply.ca.
