Physician and Surgeon Incentives

Nova Scotia Health Physician and Surgeon Incentives

We believe that moving your career to Nova Scotia should be as easy and enjoyable as living your life in Nova Scotia. So, if the thought of packing everything up, finding a new home and career is daunting, allow us to help. Nova Scotia Health offers a variety of incentives designed to relieve some of the pressure, cost, and difficulty that comes with relocation.

Site visits

Visit Nova Scotia before committing to relocating. We will reimburse you (and a plus one) for a one-time visit to potential practice sites. Physicians must have an approved site visit application submitted prior to the visit.

Physicians will be reimbursed for a one-time visit. A site visit may include more than one site and more than one zone within Nova Scotia Health. Each site must be approved in advance to receive reimbursement and you must be eligible for licensure in Nova Scotia.

Costs that will be reimbursed include return airfare, meals, accommodations, vehicle rental, fuel, or mileage (Atlantic Canada only) for the physician and one additional person (spouse, partner, child).

For more information, contact a recruitment consultant.

Relocation allowance

Relocation Allowance Physicians may apply to have their eligible moving costs reimbursed up to $20,000.

Physicians must have accepted a full-time practice opportunity and remain in full-time practice within Nova Scotia for one year or will be asked to return their travel allowance reimbursement. Physicians must follow the application process and submit eligible receipts. Reimbursements will be processed after the physician has relocated and has entered into full-time practice.  For more information, contact a recruitment consultant.

Rural Specialist Practice Support

Eligible specialist practice support physicians working in Nova Scotia's rural communities will receive a $25,000 annual payment.
