Project Title: Priorities in Funding Models of Family Medicine Physicians in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: A Qualitative Evaluation of Family Medicine Physicians’ Experiences
End Date: September 2026
Survey Link: https://cumc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4SF9cZe0uZ3TCnk
As Alberta considers changes that may alter how physicians are compensated and how primary care is delivered with the introduction of Bill 11, the perspectives of practicing family physicians must inform ongoing policy discussions. This study seeks to better understand how such changes may affect clinical practice, continuity of care, patient access, and professional values. Understanding these concepts can help inform and improve the working conditions of family physicians, as well as the health care policy environment that legislation seeks to act upon, directly impacting patient care
The survey takes 10 minutes to complete. At the end of the survey, physicians may volunteer to participate in a follow-up semi-structured Zoom interview lasting approximately 20 minutes, to be scheduled at a time convenient to the participant.
Incentive for this study will be provided in the form of a prompt to enter to win one of 2 electronic gift cards for $200, via TruCentive.com with completion of the survey. A separate window will open for you to input your contact information with the gift card distributor Trucentive.

All information input for receipt of the gift card will not be linked to your responses to the survey to ensure anonymity. If you are selected to receive the gift card, you will be prompted to answer a skill testing question to confirm receipt. You will have approximately a 1 in 287 chance of winning a $200 gift card.
