001healthcare-portability-doctor-licensingAlberta's current medical-licensing baseline is provincial/regulatory: the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta handles physician registration and publishes independent-practice registration pathways.002healthcare-portability-doctor-licensingDomestic continuity is more within Alberta's unilateral reach than external portability because Alberta can preserve AHCIP-style administration and CPSA-style registration, while out-of-province care and cross-border billing require other governments and providers to cooperate.003healthcare-portability-doctor-licensingPhysician mobility risk is distinct from day-one practice-permit continuity because existing Canadian labour-mobility arrangements and regulator confidence would need to be preserved or replaced for easy cross-border movement.004healthcare-portability-doctor-licensingThe strongest pro-independence version is plausible only if Alberta publishes enforceable continuity law, replacement funding, reciprocal-care agreements, and regulator-recognition documents before any effective separation date.
