Manitoba targets U.S. doctors with recruitment campaign amid political concerns

Manitoba is launching a recruitment campaign targeting U.S. doctors concerned about political issues under Donald Trump's presidency. The initiative aims to attract physicians from states with restrictive policies on abortion and gender-affirming care. Doctors Manitoba has placed ads in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Florida, promoting the province's stable healthcare environment. Currently, Manitoba recruits only one or two U.S.-trained doctors annually, compared to about 90 from other countries. The organization emphasizes the low cost of living and universal health coverage in Manitoba. They aim to raise awareness among U.S. physicians while collaborating with provincial authorities for immigration and licensure processes.
