WHEREAS there is a significant shortage of healthcare professionals in the province, which impacts the availability and quality of healthcare services;
AND WHEREAS the current process for licensing out-of-province and internationally-trained healthcare professionals is lengthy and inefficient, resulting in delays filling critical positions and exacerbating the workforce shortage;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NCLGA and UBCM lobby the provincial government to streamline the licensing process for out-of-province and internationally-trained healthcare professionals, ensuring a more efficient pathway for these professionals to practice and contribute to addressing the healthcare workforce shortage in the province.
