Rural Voice Information Panel #11 - Open Survey

Your Connections with RhPAP Programs and Learners

In this survey, we are asking about your connections and experiences with a range of RhPAP initiatives. We are also interested in your community’s ability to reach out to and connect with health-care learners.

A health-care learner is a resident physician, clerk, or medical / health sciences student enrolled in an Alberta-based post-secondary institution.

We will share your feedback with RhPAP stakeholders across Alberta who are interested in learning about your experiences. Your input will also help to inform the support and services that we provide to rural communities through our Rural Community Attraction and Retention Program.

This survey should take less than three minutes to complete.
