NEW BRUNSWICK WELCOMES TEN INTERNATIONAL PHYSICIANS THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

In a major move to address healthcare needs, New Brunswick has successfully integrated ten international family physicians through its Practice Ready Assessment program, marking a significant step forward in Canada’s healthcare sector. This groundbreaking initiative also introduces the country’s first provincial bilingual licensing pathway, allowing qualified physicians to seamlessly enter the healthcare system while ensuring they meet local standards.

These healthcare professionals have committed to a three-year service agreement, bringing their expertise to various communities across the province, including Moncton, Campbellton, Bathurst, Miramichi, and Woodstock. The initiative promises to expand medical services to 10,000 to 15,000 residents, improving access to essential care in underserved regions.

The Horizon and Vitalité Health Networks, which will oversee the implementation of the program, are pivotal in improving healthcare accessibility in the region. This program, supported by $313 million in federal-provincial funding, will serve as a model for expanding healthcare resources across Canada, addressing both immediate and long-term challenges in the healthcare sector.

As this innovative program progresses, the integration of international healthcare professionals will play a key role in strengthening New Brunswick’s healthcare infrastructure and ensuring residents have access to high-quality medical care.
