What happens if my leave or switch to non-clinical begins after annual renewal?

Posted October 14, 2022

While you perform clinical services, you will not qualify for the non-clinical register.

As part of preparations for stopping your clinical work, you must notify us 1 month in advance by contacting registration@cpsa.ab.ca. We can then assess your situation to see if you qualify for the non-clinical register and, if so, begin your transfer.
