Resident Physician Agreement
The Resident Physician Agreement is an agreement between PARA, Alberta Health Services, the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. It outlines your rights, responsibilities, compensation and working conditions throughout your residency.
PARA’s role is to advocate for fair, saf and supportive training environments that set resident physicians up for long-term success. This agreement reflects the work we do every day to ensure resident physicians are valued members of Alberta’s health-care system.
Whether you’re a current resident physician, a medical student considering residency in Alberta or simply curious about what PARA stands for — this agreement is a testament to what strong advocacy, representation and collaboration can achieve.
