For months, the NDP have claimed that doctors are leaving Alberta en masse.
In fact, the very opposite is true.
Here are the facts:
- The number of doctors in Alberta is growing
- The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA), the independent body which regulates doctors, released their third-quarter report in October on how many doctors are registered to work here. It shows a net gain of 246 doctors or a 2.3-per-cent increase from the year before
*Source, Alberta Government
For the first time in Alberta’s history, we now have over 11,000 doctors registered to work here.

This puts to shame the lie, backed by nothing more than disinformation from the NDP and thin reporting, that doctors are leaving the province. 1/8 https://t.co/8qXzP5cM3O
