Episode 6.24 - The Alberta Physician Crisis w/ Alberta Medical Association President Dr. Paul Parks!

The Breakdown With Nate Pike

There’s a lot of conversation around the physician shortage in Alberta, but how did we go from being on of the most appealing provinces for physicians to practice in to one that is struggling to even fill residencies? To get some answers, we sat down with President of the Alberta Medical Association, Dr Paul Parks! But we don’t stop at the physician crisis, we also get into the literal disintegration of healthcare in Alberta, the opioid crisis and we revisit the legendary December 10, 2023 press conference and vaccinations! Don't forget, we now have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca, including a cold weather lineup!
