Featured Events

Connect. Learn. Celebrate.

Connect, learn, celebrate – that is the brand for our flagship event, the Family Medicine Summit, and to be fair, it is really our modus operandi of how we want to deliver programs for you, too. We are very lucky to have two of your brightest from your respective classes to help us develop and deliver programs that will resonate with you.

Creating opportunities for connection

Student Information Nights

Once a year, the ACFP organizes a student-family physician meet and greet luncheon or dinner. The event provides a great opportunity for students to network with practising family physicians (ACFP Member volunteers) and engage in an informal career investigation.

Clinical Skills Night

With the support of the ACFP Student Liaisons, the ACFP hosts an annual Clinical Skills Night for first- and second-year medical students. These facilitated workshops are made possible by ACFP Members who volunteer their time and share their clinical experiences.

Student Socials

The ACFP is happy to host a social or two for students. Whether it’s been informal gatherings at our annual Summit or an organized summer social, we want to provide a forum for connection and community.

Nominate a Colleague

My name is Smitha Yaltho and I feel privileged to work as a family physician. Why? I believe that being a family physician has been the best job any physician can hope to have. I have personally grown in my own abilities and skill-sets with diverse opportunities in ambulatory practice, acute care and work in Facility Living.  Working in primary care has been exciting and has also afforded me tremendous opportunities for growth while still remaining stimulating in its complexity.  I believe that Family physicians are trusted partners in patient care –  every step of the way. 

Why are you volunteering to serve on this committee?
I currently have an interest in Physician Leadership and  trauma informed care.  I have served as a director with the Board of Directors with the Edmonton North PCN, Edmonton’s largest PCN. Thereafter, I have worked as the Director of Medical Services with CapitalCare (also based in Edmonton) for almost 6 years. It is my express wish that my contribution on the ACFP board of directors will highlight the excellence of family medicine that exists right here and now within the Alberta health care system. 

What about the ACFP’s work do you find most valuable?
Ability to highlight and further support the excellence of primary care right here in Alberta.
