Hello everyone,

I'm pleased to provide a detailed update of our physician recruitment work and summary of progress and results from the past fiscal year.
 
We are reporting an overall increase in candidates and another year in a net growth position for physicians in the province. We have vacancies to fill, especially with new positions being added to the provinces medical staff. Our focus continues to be on dominating the international recruitment landscape while prioritizing Dalhousie University residents and students. We continue to maintain the momentum of our province's brand, More than Medicine.
 
And, we are ending last year on a positive note with 42 pending letters of offer with anticipate start dates for these positions within the next six months.
 
There are many great numbers and updates in this report and if you have any questions, feel free to reply to physiciancomms@nshealth.ca
