## Resource

Alberta’s doctors are getting a $172.3 million retroactive pay boost after a landmark deal with the provincial government, designed to close the pay gap for undercompensated specialties like pediatric surgery and anesthesiology—some seeing pay jumps of up to 70%. The agreement also modernizes payment models for alternative care arrangements, aiming to retain and attract more physicians. Meanwhile, efforts to implement triage liaison physicians in ERs continue, with hopes of easing emergency room strain by monitoring high-risk patients. The Alberta Medical Association says these moves will improve care for vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with complex mental and physical needs.
