The AIMG Program is committed to providing a professional and safe learning and working environment, free of abuse and threats of abuse. Prospective applicants, applicants, candidates, and externs of the AIMG Program are required to behave in a professional manner. Honest, respectful communication and correspondence with AIMG Program staff and affiliates – in person, on the telephone, in emails, and any other form of interaction – before, during, and after the assessment process, are expected.
Prospective applicants and applicants understand that they are taking part in a confidential professional assessment process. Each individual is personally and professionally responsible to maintain the integrity of the assessment and their profession by conforming to the rules of conduct stipulated by the AIMG Program, and as applicable, those of College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.
NOTE: When the office reopens to the public (after COVID-19 pandemic), visitors to the AIMG Program office must use the front entrance at HMRB G06. Access to staff offices is restricted. Unauthorized entry to staff offices is strictly prohibited.
In applying to participate in the AIMG Program, each applicant agrees to abide by all regulations, as well as oral and written instructions controlling the conduct of each stage of the AIMG Program assessment process. These regulations are intended to preserve the integrity of the AIMG Program by providing processes that yield valid and reliable results.
Applicants must not provide false information or make false statements on or in connection with application forms or any other AIMG Program-related documents. This includes all information related to any claims of Alberta residency, and all information related to the online application and supporting documents.
AIMG Program candidates must abide by all regulations, as well as oral and written instructions controlling the conduct of each stage of the AIMG Program assessment process. Candidates must behave in a professional manner and refrain from irregular behaviours, including cheating.
Irregular behaviours include any actions that subvert or attempt to subvert the assessment process including but not limited to examinations.
Candidates will be observed at all times while they are taking examinations. These observations will include direct observation by invigilators and AIMG Program staff. Invigilators and staff may not necessarily inform candidates of their observations, but invigilators and staff are required to document any irregular behaviours observed and report their observations to the AIMG Program Examination Committee for action.
Applicants and candidates acknowledge that their failure to behave in a professional manner and to adhere to the rules of conduct stipulated by the AIMG Program may be deemed sufficient cause for termination of their participation in the current AIMG Program assessment cycle, as well as possible prevention from participation in future AIMG Program assessment cycles.
