Given that I am in the latter third of my career in clinical and academic medicine, I thought that becoming an APL would enable me to contribute to improving health care for Albertans.

My favorite part of the APL to date has been involving myself with the Physician Practice Improvement Program.

What are you looking forward to doing in the future as an APL?

I am looking forward to involving myself with aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) that integrate with physician workflow and clinical decision support.

FINAL THOUGHTS
