More Saskatchewan-trained family physicians are practicing in the province.
Data shows the retention rate of family medicine graduates trained at the University of Saskatchewan has jumped by 17 per cent over the past two years – from 58 per cent to 75 per cent.
“I’m delighted these medical graduates are choosing to stay and practise in Saskatchewan,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “We value our locally-trained physicians, and we want patients right here in Saskatchewan to benefit from their training and expertise.”
