Role:


Within the ministry, the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) has legislated responsibilities to monitor and report on the health of Albertans, to be engaged in the development of healthy public policy, and in the administration of the Public Health Act.


Reporting to the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH), the Public Health Physicians work with multiple stakeholders both internal and external to government such as other divisions within Alberta Health and other ministries within the Government of Alberta, Alberta Health Services, and Indigenous Services Canada, First Nations and Inuit Health Branch.

These roles are key in advising on the need for legislation, policies, standards and practices affecting the population's health by providing public health leadership, medical expertise, clinical knowledge, and skill in evaluation to the department and other agencies.

These positions provide high-quality medical expertise and strategic advice in population health assessment, surveillance, public health information systems, health risk assessment and other public health areas.


To be successful in these roles, you possess significant expertise in the areas of epidemiology, health information, population health assessment and reporting and surveillance methodologies, or environmental public health, infection prevention and control, pandemic preparedness, and emergency/disaster management.

Your broad knowledge of principles and practices of public health include a deep understanding of general population health intervention strategies, of disease and injury prevention, communicable disease control, environmental public health, healthy public policy, mental health promotion, emergency response and health impact assessment as well as an understanding of approaches to issues involving specific populations such as First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples in Alberta.


Qualifications:


As an accomplished, influential and highly credible individual within medicine, your career will include at least ten (10) years of public health experience, with demonstrated skills in leadership, building teams, and developing and maintaining stakeholder relationships with governmental and public audiences.

A medical degree and certification in community medicine with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or equivalent in public health and a license to practice, or eligibility for a license to practice as a specialist in Community Medicine/Public Health and Preventive Medicine, is required.

Experience in the Alberta health system and government, or both, is preferred. Equivalent combinations of education, training, and experience may be considered. Media engagement experience is considered an asset.
