“This was an invaluable experience that provided me with excellent information about the work and role of a family physician.“

Presented in collaboration with the Alberta Medical Association’s Sections of Family Medicine and Rural Medicine, the ACFP is proud to facilitate your first exposure to medical practice through shadowing placements.

The Shadowing Program places incoming medical students from across Alberta with volunteer physicians from across the spectrum of family practice during the summer before medical school begins.
