Nova Scotia is rolling out a two-pronged approach to recruiting doctors that will see staff from the province's Immigration Department join the Nova Scotia Health Authority at an international jobs fair for health professionals. The recruitment team will attend the British Medical Journal Careers Fair - a recruitment venue where more than 1,800 physicians are expected to be looking for opportunities abroad. A family physician originally from the United Kingdom who has practised in the Annapolis Valley for seven years will be part of the recruitment team. Doctors Nova Scotia estimates a current shortfall of 65 family doctors, and the organization is calling for the recruitment of about 500 additional primary care physicians over the coming decade.
