Being a family doctor in Saskatchewan

In Saskatchewan there are multiple employment opportunities for you, ranging from running your own clinic to salaried positions with the Saskatchewan Health Authority. You can work anywhere in the province and are not limited by "caps" on licenses and privileges. You can work urban, rural, or remote.

Visit Saskdocs if you are interested in seeing what's posted publicly, though not all family medicine positions (such as some privately-run clinics) are advertised there.

Training in Saskatchewan

The main attraction to residency in Saskatchewan is the small size of the program. Saskatchewan FM Residents don't feel that they have to stand in line for clinical exposure, or to do any procedures. Faculty-to-learner rations are excellent, and residents enjoy the support of a close-knit community.
