Doctors Manitoba recruits U.S. physicians to address doctor shortage

globalnews.ca

Doctors Manitoba is focusing on recruiting U.S.-trained physicians to address a shortage in the province. Currently, Manitoba attracts only one to two U.S. doctors annually, compared to about 90 from other countries. The recruitment effort targets states like North Dakota, South Dakota, and Florida. Doctors Manitoba aims to appeal to U.S. physicians dissatisfied with government involvement in patient care, particularly regarding reproductive and gender-affirming services. The campaign highlights Manitoba's advantages, such as a lower cost of living and a single-payer healthcare system. This approach seeks to attract U.S. doctors considering relocation.
