Dr. Imafidon Thomas Izekor focuses on family medicine. In addition to serving the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta as an ER physician, he serves in the Department of Family Medicine of the Saskatchewan Health Authority. Professionally, Imafidon Thomas Izekor, MD, belongs to the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).
As of April 1, 2021, the practice of physician assistants (PAs) in Alberta was placed under the regulatory powers of CPSA. This regulation closes down the list of volunteer PAs in the province, since they are now required to register with CPSA, pay annual dues, hold liability insurance, and adhere to the Standards of Practice of CPSA.
In a statement issued by CPSA registrar Dr. Scott McLeod, he said that PAs in Alberta have a proven track record of providing high quality patient care under physician supervision. Dr. McLeod added that it is the pride of CPSA to welcome PAs as the latest regulated members of the healthcare system in Alberta.
In order to be eligible to register with the CPSA, a PA must have at least two years of training leading to a degree in physician associate studies. He or she must be certified by the Canadian Association of Physician Assistants (CAPA), the national organization of PAs in Canada, and must be in practice as a PA as of the date of registration.
