Province also celebrating recruitment of 1,001 new family doctors in 2 years

Osborne says the province is changing its licensing rules so U.S.-trained doctors can begin practising in B.C. right away, without any need for further assessment, exams or training.

She said there will be a similar scale-back of the barriers facing U.S.-trained nurses and that a marketing campaign will be unveiled in Washington, Oregon and California within the next few months.

    As I kinda alluded to in a different comment, it might be a better strategy to recruit from Red States. Medical folk from Red States, that are willing to leave, are likely to be more liberal than the general population. They’re likely to want to jump ship as they disagree with things like:

    • stripping woman’s rights
    • dehumanising trans and other LGBTQ folk
    • the parasitic, life destroying, for profit medical system in the US

    Idk, just spitballing I guess.
