Streamlined Licensure
We offer a quick, easy, and affordable pathway to full medical licensure for American trained physicians who have attained American Board certification and have, or are eligible to obtain, a full license in the United States.
Universal Healthcare
In Saskatchewan, our publicly funded, single-payer healthcare system eliminates the complexities of dealing with private insurers. With no direct cost to you, you can experience simplified billing and focus on patient-driven care.
Malpractice Insurance
Peace of mind comes standard in Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) subsidizes the fees associated with medical malpractice insurance premiums so you pay no more than C$1,000 per year, and with our low litigation rates, your focus can stay on what really matters – providing exceptional care.
Continuous Learning Support
Advance your career with financial coverage for your continued education. The SMA provides physicians with up to C$3,500 annually for conferences, learning materials, and courses associated with the Continued Medical Education Program to help you stay ahead in your field.
Paid Parental Leave
Take the time for what matters most, and get up to C$2,000 per week, for up to 20 weeks, provided by the SMA during your parental leave.
Financial Incentives
Practicing physicians in Saskatchewan have various financial incentives, including retention funds starting at C$7,000/year and additional relocation assistance for those who qualify.
The Rural Physician Incentive Program provinces an incentive of up to C$200,000 over five years to family physicians practicing in rural and remote communities in Saskatchewan.
We’ll assist you every step of the way to find the right incentives that work for you.
