Edmonton Students
Why ABES?
Do you want to make a difference in the world by caring for others?
If so, consider training in the exciting medical world at ABES in Calgary. After classroom training in our colleges, Edmonton residents can get great-paying jobs in the medical field—right in their home town.
Our MLAs are high in demand in Alberta, particularly within rural areas—so our training gives you the critical skills to make you employable throughout the province. And foreign-trained health care professionals need only take a Medical Device Reprocessing Technician course before returning to work at a local hospital.
Local Practicum
ABES students complete classroom training in Calgary and do their practicum in their home towns. Comparable medical studies at Edmonton colleges may take longer to get into than at ABES, so choose to study with us in Calgary and then go back to Edmonton or another home town for your practicum. U of A, Grey Nuns, Misericordia, and Royal Alexandra are just a few areas for hospital practicum experience.
Proven Employment Opportunities
ABES graduates are working in Edmonton, Banff, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Claresholm, High River, Strathmore, Airdrie, Olds, Fort Macleod, Panoka, Didsbury, Crowsnest Pass, Turner Valley, Brooks, Leduc, and Carmore. That’s an impressive list for an impressive group of ABES graduates.
