“Newfoundland and Labrador. Health and Community Services”
$17,000.00
Maximum Eligible Amount
Government Grant
Fund Type
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, in collaboration with the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association (NLMA), today announced that a new Salaried Family Physician Remoteness Bonus has been developed to address recruitment challenges for salaried family physicians at remote sites in the province. These physicians are exclusively employed by regional health authorities and provide primary care in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Bonus amounts for salaried family physicians range between $11,000 and $17,000, depending on the remoteness of the location, and will be paid annually. In order to help determine the locations that would be eligible for the bonus, an isolation index was created and takes into consideration factors such as the population of a community; travel time to the nearest emergency room and tertiary care centre; and proximity to the Trans-Canada Highway.
