A Life Changing Career Starts here
South Calgary Primary Care Network's newly approved Clinical Alternative Relationship Plan (cARP) in our Family Care Clinic is a game-changer for primary care in Alberta.
It offers family physicians a sustainable, team-based practice model with a stable, predictable monthly income—so you can focus on building your panel without worrying about fluctuations in patient volume. The cARP structure covers not just direct patient care, but also indirect care, virtual visits and more, ensuring you're compensated for the full scope of your work. It is an ideal option for new graduates and physicians new to Calgary looking to create a sustainable and supportive practice.
Your practice, your choice: physicians have the flexibility to choose the compensation model that works best for them, whether that's the new cARP, the Primary Care Physician Compensation Model (PCPCM) or traditional Fee for Service.
