ALBERTA- Supervised Activity 1: The Calgary Clinical Assistants Program

The Calgary Clinical Assistants Program (CCAP) Introduces a new level of health care provider; and potentially provides a Transition Program to create a more successful cadre of international medical graduates as they proceed to residency programs.

The CCAP Program will have a minimum number of 10 international medical graduates, funded by the Calgary Health Region on one year contracts, acting as clinical assistants within the Calgary Health Region.
Clinical Assistants (CAs) would be blended into existing programs requiring supervised medical services and have the opportunity to actively participate in supervised interactions with patients and obtain hands-on experience in the Calgary health care system.
The CCAP will provide an assessment period for evaluating Clinical Assistants' level of competence.
