Information on Life Support Courses and Mandatory Rotations 

Life Support Courses

Residents who complete Life Support courses are entitled to financial reimbursement.

You will be required to take the iExpense training before you can submit a claim electronically. To register for a training session log into the MyLearningLink portal using your AHS network username and password.

Once you have completed the training you may log into iExpense using your Oracle user ID and password. (Note: this is different from your AHS network account and can only be obtained after completing the mandatory training). 

You can find detailed steps in the How to Submit Claims Document.

Monitoring your AHS email is crucial to the iExpense process. Relevant communications including payment confirmation and claim denials will not be directed to external email accounts (ex. U of A email).

For questions regarding the reimbursement process, please contact Medical Affairs at EDM.AcademicMedicine@ahs.ca or 780-735-0712.

Mandatory Rotations

Residents who complete mandatory rotations are entitled to financial reimbursement.

When completing the form, it is imperative to follow the instructions for claiming mandatory rotations. Please note that improperly completed forms may result in delayed reimbursement.

Reimbursements can take up to eight weeks to process. They will appear via direct deposit on your pay advice or by cheque to the address filed in e-People. Please ensure that your banking information and personal contact information are up to date at all times.

The completed form must be signed by Dr. Cheung, Associate Dean of Postgraduate Medical Education. Then it will be forwarded to the Academic Medicine Office for processing.
