What's New at ACFP
We Are the Voice of Family Physicians in Alberta
Established in 1954, the Alberta College of Family Physicians (ACFP) is the provincial chapter of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC). It is a professional voluntary organization, representing more than 6,000 family physicians, family medicine residents, and medical students in Alberta. At the ACFP, we focus on member services and engagement by supporting family physicians in their continuing professional development needs, advocacy, leadership, and primary care research.

What We Do
The ACFP supports certification of our members by providing continuing professional development (CPD) and upholding the established standards for CPD delivery. We advocate on behalf of our members to advance excellence of family practice, define and celebrate the role of family medicine and family practice as the foundation of our health care system, and work to ensure Albertans can access high quality care from family physicians.
What Our Members Say
In a profession driven by innovation, the ACFP provides many opportunities for evidenced based CME and continuing education. I value the strong sense of community and advocacy that the ACFP provides for family doctors at all stages of their career. I am excited to be part of a great organization!
There is a significant amount of work that ACFP faces – from being at the center of the efforts to manage the opioid crisis to effectively engaging the membership and working with multiple stakeholders, while also advocating for family physicians and their patients to jointly continue to build the patient’s Medical Home... Through the ACFP, have had the honour to participate in processes that support the advancement of all of the above.
I value the role the ACFP has in connecting family physicians together. Primary care can be a difficult and sometimes isolating job, and having an organization that supports its members and provides opportunities for networking and support is vital in upholding both the health of patients and family physicians.
The ACFP plays such a huge role in encouraging excellence in family medicine in Alberta, from high quality and unbiased CME to community and supports for family physicians at all stages of their careers. I appreciate the vision and leadership of the organization and all that it means for family doctors in Alberta.
I value the work the ACFP has done to advocate on behalf of Albertans by representing Family Physicians. The ACFP’s collaboration with stakeholders will ensure our discipline remains adaptive to the needs of the communities we work within.
A provincial force for primary care – the college creates a virtual community of practice that allows strong networking opportunities. The college provides advocacy for all FPs as well as space for shared learning and personal development in our careers as well as promotes successful work-life balance.
I consider the ACFP to be a valuable platform and a great resource for fellow family physicians to connect and support each other. I feel that we can learn and benefit from each other’s experiences and contribute together to provide excellent care to our community.
