Physician Advocacy Support
The Joint Task Force (JTF) regularly updates advocacy materials to provide physician offices with the most up-to-date messaging reflecting the current state of affairs and discussions between AMA and government. We encourage physicians to review materials in your offices to ensure that they are current. If you’re not sure, feel free to email jointtaskforce@albertadoctors.org. If you need something more up to date, we can let you know what’s available and provide you with the latest materials.
If you are looking for tools to support advocacy on issues that matter to you, the Joint Task Force has created several resources that may help. Please check out what’s available below to get started. If there is something specific you feel would be useful that’s not already listed here, please send us an email at jointtaskforce@albertadoctors.org and we’ll try to source it or even create it for you.
