As a new immigrant to Canada and Nova Scotia, I realize how difficult it is to relocate to a new country. The Welcome Collaborative program is crucial for physicians trained outside of Canada (PTOC) and are relocating to Nova Scotia.
As a seasoned academic, researcher, and administrator, I know the challenges faced by international students when they first move to a new country to pursue their education.
The program plays a key role in retaining newly arrived physicians in communities throughout the province.
I believe the Welcome Collaborative program will make a positive impact on the lives of our PTOCs and their families.

Great quality presentations and presenters. Really useful to help in understanding how the health system works (including outside of your specialty). Sharing our experiences with other foreign-trained physicians was great and comforting. It is also great to see the College cares about us. It gave me more energy for the future.
