There are five Chinese PHIs working for Alberta Health Services and I'm one of them. All of us got our foot in before 2011. I haven't heard any other ones working in the same field ever since. However, I know for sure that at least two have registered and graudated from the program since 2011. As the time when we graudated, a general audit report came out stating that the inspection rates in Alberta hadn't been in compliance with the national standards. This was why more positions were added back then in both urban and rural settings. But this is not the case for the current situation. This was why i said earlier that you need to make a decision with some precautions.

Four years stuff is crammed into 1 year. That's all. However, after you start working in the field, you receive many phone calls each day. You cannot predict what the phone call is about when it's ringing; it could be something related to a food establishment, a rental house, a swiming pool, a river or lake, a hair salon, a tattoo parlor, a drinking water system, a dog bite, a communical dissease, etc. You have to answer it without a pause based on your field experience and your undertanding of the regulations. After each inspection is done, you need to speak with the particular operator about the violations and correction methods. All of this happens on a daily basis. For writing, after each inspection is done, you need to type, print and hand out the inspection report to the operator on site. Sometimes, in order to get some compliance, you need to write a letter even an Executive Officer's order(legal document). This happens from time to time. I'm sure that all the above activities may not happen in other occupations.0 G+ _/ v# B0 W* J
Another thing I do want to point it out to you. The prospect of the employment is important; however, you need to ask yourself if you are really interested in doing it. I can tell you the nature of this job is very stressful. People could yell and swear at you at any time because you ask them to spend money, time, engery and personal attention to correct things, there is no doubt no one likes that. They could complain about you to your supervisor, local MLA, the Minister of Alberta Health. You should ask yourself, can you live with that? |
