Spousal and Family Programming

The RPAP supports a range of spousal and family activities throughout the year, such as:
  • Annual family-friendly retreats for RAN and RAS residents and their families.
  • Events at medical conferences, to give accompanying spouses (and often, children) a chance to meet their counterparts from across the province.
  • Referrals to services and resources, such as counseling support, immigration services, and the Physician and Family Support Program of the Alberta Medical Association.
