About Us
Our Vision
All Alberta physicians will care for patients in a supportive culture, driven by evidence informed, reflective practice improvement.
Our Mission
The Physician Learning Program (PLP) creates actionable clinical information by engaging with physicians, teams, partners, and patients to co-create sustainable solutions to advance practice.
Built on Partnership
Bridging evidence & practice — linking 85+ healthcare groups across Alberta, with 15+ years of experience delivering collaborative, clinically actionable impact.

The PLP Advantage
PLP brings together a rare combination of expertise — spanning clinical practice, data science, human-centred design, and implementation science — to move from complex problems to real, sustained change.
Interdisciplinary Expertise
A breadth of clinical expertise, data analytics, human-centred design, and cognitive science allows for a multi-perspective understanding of complex healthcare problems.
Data to Actionable Insight
Fragmented health data is transformed into clear, clinically meaningful information, giving teams what they need to reflect on and improve their practice.
Co-Design with Clinicians,
Partners & Patients
Through qualitative research and discovery, solutions are shaped alongside clinicians, partners, and patients. This ensures every tool built fits real-world practice rather than disrupting it.
Proven Implementation
& Sustainability Methods
Grounded in implementation science and quality improvement, our structured approaches help translate evidence into sustained practice change across the system.
Our Strategic Priorities
Moving clinical evidence into action through facilitated, data-driven practice change.
The PLP will work with its partners to support systems thinking on projects of significant impact, using a variety of techniques to analyze data and bridge the gap between knowledge and clinical practice.
Leveraging partnerships for sustainable change across the care continuum.
The PLP will work with partners on projects and collaborations that span the continuum of care, facilitating a comprehensive approach to address clinical gaps in both primary and specialist care.
Understanding healthcare disparities and gaps to support equitable care for all Albertans.
The PLP will carry out projects focused on understanding clinical gaps and needs, and developing and deploying co-created solutions to support all Albertans.
Maintaining responsiveness to emerging health needs.
The PLP will support Alberta’s health system to address emerging health needs, leverage emerging technical solutions, and continue our work to support physicians and teams in fostering a positive culture of improvement.
