Alberta has promised $200 million in funding for post-secondary health-care programs as part of its latest budget.
Health Minister Jason Copping said in a news conference Monday at the University of Alberta in Edmonton that the funding would help train an additional 3,400 health-care professionals.
“Our ability to recruit and retain doctors is a top priority for our government,” Copping said. “One of the best ways to do this is to make sure that there are more opportunities for Albertans to train and work closer to where they live.”

Private equity and creating and fostering a culture of health care compliance
July 20, 2023 – Private equity investment in health care can be lucrative. Yet, health care and private equity can often seem antithetical: One is driven by patient care and compliance while the other is motivated to make a quick profit.

Our four-part playbook for investors new to the health care sector provides an overview of precautions, a…

When they sit down in Winnipeg for their annual summer gathering this week, the attention will turn more to how to use the new money Ottawa has now promised.
After two years of provincial pleading and sabre rattling for a new health care deal, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally put new money on the table…

Trans patients share what it’s like to seek health care: ‘Treated without any humanity’
A few weeks ago, River Smith visited his primary care doctor in the Tampa Bay, Florida, area because he needed a new prescription for testosterone and the estrogen blocker he took as part of his gender-affirming care. That’s when he learned some news that upset him.
“They weren’t prescribing any medication,” the 40-year-old tells TODAY.com. “With the laws just passing … they were waiting for the Florida medical board to come up with their plan of action.”
