EDMONTON – The president of the Alberta Medical Association has sent a letter to physicians saying the organization does not support any specific politician or political party.
The letter comes after the association directly e-mailed campaign literature to doctors from a Progressive Conservative and an Alberta Liberal leadership candidate.

In his letter, AMA President Dr. Patrick White says it is an absolute that the organization does not endorse or favour a particular party or politician.
The letter was sent out following a meeting of the AMA’s board of directors.
White is a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta.
Under a new policy, the AMA says it will list links on its electronic newsletter to five of Alberta’s major parties, including the Wildrose, New Democrat and Alberta parties.
