The Alberta Clinical and Surgical Assistant Program (ACSAP) is a specific program you can apply for that provides alternative career paths within the Canadian Healthcare System. ACSAP puts candidates through a six-month orientation, assessment and evaluation within a particular clinical or surgical service located in Calgary, Edmonton or Red Deer and if successfully completed, it leads to a full-time and permanent acute care coverage role that addresses clinical and/or surgical coverage shortages in the province.
Upon program completion participants also are qualified for the role of Clinical Assistant (CA), which consists of assisting patients, completing histories and physical examinations, ordering and performing selected diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, interpreting laboratory and radiological results and planning care throughout the patient’s hospitalization.
