Interested physicians are asked to submit a cover letter and an abridged curriculum vitae (see government template) indicating their relevant qualifications, experiences and achievements to Laura Pawluk at laura.pawluk@albertadoctors.org.

Key characteristics of the successful candidate may include, but are not limited to:

• a keen interest in health information policy and governance;
• credibility within the profession; and
• success in working collaboratively in a dynamic group setting.

The successful candidate will also be invited to sit as a member on the AMA’s Informatics Committee, which provides issues management coordination and policy advice to the AMA Board.

As this is a ministerial committee, the committee appointment will be made by the office of the Health Minister. Three short-listed applications will be determined jointly by the AMA and CPSA and forwarded onto the office of the Health Minister.
