Shannon Phillips On Doctor Shortage | Friday, February 3, 2023 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News
A total of one in three people in Alberta do not have access to a family doctor. That’s according to Lethbridge-West MLA Shannon Phillips. Phillips was at the Galt Museum discussing the doctor shortage in Lethbridge. She outlined ways that we as a city can attract and retain family physicians.
Earlier in January, the Alberta government announced they will be investing $1 million to explore ways that post-secondaries like the University of Lethbridge and Northwestern Polytechnic, can help with medical education outside of Edmonton and Calgary.
Staff from the province also said research shows that positive learning experiences in rural health-care settings lead to more physicians choosing to pursue careers in rural areas.
The province also made an announcement late last year that 17 new doctors have committed to Lethbridge this year with some already practicing medicine here in our city.
