Consultations Set on Attracting Physicians

Ontario is looking at a new way of attracting physicians to Northern communities.
The province will hold a series of consultation meetings on a plan to renew and improve physician recruitment and retention components of the province’s Underserviced Area Program.
As part of the changes, the government is proposing that all communities in Ontario, with the exceptions of Ottawa and the GTA, be able to recruit physicians with Return of Service commitments.
A series of regional meetings will be held over the coming weeks.
