Our Doctors
Our physicians are all Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (FRCPC) and participate in continuing medical education to keep pace with the rapidly advancing world of pediatric care.
We are affiliated with the University of Calgary and Alberta Health Services via the Section of Community Pediatrics. Comprised of more than 50 community pediatricians in multiple clinic locations across the city, the Section provides care in both office and hospital settings for a diverse range of medical, developmental and behavioural conditions. The Section also plays a very active role in leadership, education and advocacy.
In addition to practicing in the office setting, many of our physicians are also affiliated with newborn care at the surrounding Calgary hospitals, or are affiliated with clinics/on-service care at the Alberta Children’s Hospital or the Peter Lougheed Centre.
We participate in teaching medical students and residents the University of Calgary as well as elective students or nurse practitioner trainees.
Our doctors are lifelong learners. Not only have they received advanced medical training in pediatrics, but they also continually pursue ongoing education to stay up to date with the latest in child health care.
