Making doctor recruitment a bit easier in Nova Scotia

A few weeks ago, an agreement was announced that would allow licensed doctors to move freely between the Atlantic Provinces. Dr. Gus Grant says it likely won’t have a huge impact on recruitment or retention. But the Nova Scotia College of Physicians and Surgeons CEO says this latest move might. The licensing and regulatory body is the first in Canada to recognize credentials of US licensed doctors without extra certification. He says it may convince some Nova Scotian doctors to come back home. And it may open up new opportunities to recruitment in general.
