The 2016 A&R conference plans are moving forward! “Behind the Scenes: Rural Alberta Community Success in Physician Attraction and Retention” will be the theme of this year’s interactive event to occur in Vermilion on September 28th and 29th. Keynote speakers, workshop facilitators and panel members will share what has led to success in rural Alberta; practical tools and techniques will make up what conference participants can take away from the two-day event. Speakers and workshop facilitators will consist of community members, physicians, healthcare facility staff and leaders in the field of community development. Social events and other community activities will also be part of the experience!
