A small town in British Columbia is closing clinics, and thinking about how to bring physicians back to offer quality services. When there are incentive programs to move doctors to smaller communities, it is really stealing from Peter to pay Paul. As we move forward in developing programs to recruit doctors here, they are going to leave another community to come. We are going to have to look beyond our borders to bring people in. We do know that there are Canadians who have gone abroad to get their medical education. So the province is looking at creating a program that would be similar to residency that would allow these international medical grads to come to B.C., come home in a lot of cases, pick that residency, and get their accreditation here to work in the province. --Lori Ackerman, Mayor, Fort St John Read Residents concerned about clinic closure - bit.ly/1if06xZ * Images by Bruno Schlumberger
