You are registered with CPSA and have new certification from either the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) or the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC).

Please email Registration@cpsa.ab.ca to inform our office of your recent additional certification, and we will be in contact with you.

Your current license was issued based on the credentials you presented at registration.
