Premier Tim Houston says starting early next year, a new Halifax-based clinic will assess international medical graduates, while providing primary care to about 2,500 patients. Houston says the program will significantly cut the assessment time for prospective candidates to about 12 weeks from the current 18 months. Graduates of the program will receive a licence to practice in Nova Scotia and will be required to sign a three-year service agreement to work in the province. Houston says the assessment program will issue about 45 licences a year, compared to the 39 that were issued over the last five years to internationally trained doctors. To qualify to work in the assessment clinic, candidates must have a recognized medical degree, two years of postgraduate training, a proficiency in English, and must have trained or practiced in medicine within the last three to five years.
