Why do I have to fill out a Renewal Information Form (RIF)?

Posted June 4, 2020

The RIF ensures we have up-to-date information about your practice, including your contact information and whether or not you are accepting new patients. A portion of this information is posted on the CPSA website to help Albertans who are looking for a physician.

The Alberta Government also requires us to keep accurate data about physician resources in Alberta.
