My Alberta patient has moved to another province, but wants to continue seeing me virtually, can I do this?

Posted February 1, 2022

Each province’s College of Physicians & Surgeons has different virtual care/licensure requirements. The requirements of the college in the patient’s new province would need to be determined and followed. Additionally, arrangements would need to be made for the patient to be seen in-person when necessary.
