PARA Conference Sponsorship Program
The PARA Conference Sponsorship Program was established to help embody the value PARA places on resident physician education and resident physician wellness. As part of this program, PARA sponsors a resident from the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary to attend two specifically chosen conferences on either physician health or medical education. The two conferences selected this year are the International Conference on Physician Health and the Canadian Conference on Medical Education (CCME).
- Canadian Conference on Physician Health, October 28-29, 2011, Toronto, Ontario.

Application deadline: Friday, September 9, 2011
- Canadian Conference on Medical Education, April 14-18, 2012, Banff, Alberta.

Application deadline: Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Interested applicants must submit a one-page summary to PARA indicating who they are, their leadership experience, and why they wish to attend.
These conferences were selected based on how they met both PARA's mission statement and its goals. Part of PARA's mission includes "advocat[ing for] excellence in education and patient care while striving to achieve optimal working conditions and personal well-being for all its members." PARA's goals also include:
Successful applicants would be responsible for their own registration and travel arrangements. PARA will reimburse them for their expenses.
