An important role for RhPAP is to be a voice for rural Albertans. One way of doing that is to enhance awareness of the experience and perspective of rural Alberta and to highlight its health-care successes and innovations.
RhPAP engages in and supports research related to the education, attraction, and retention of health professions for rural Alberta practice. By collaborating with key partners on research projects and initiatives across Alberta, RhPAP aims to develop innovative programs and policy towards improved rural health services and outcomes.
