The story
At an 1889 Canadian Medical Association meeting held in Banff, Alberta the North West Territories Medical Association was founded.
In 1906, the Canadian Medical Association, Alberta Division was formed, as the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.
In the 1960s, the organization changed its name to the Alberta Medical Association (AMA).
