Physician retention and recruitment strong in Melfort
The City of Melfort is having great success in both retaining and recruiting doctors.
Most recently, Dr. Alexander Watts opened his own practice out of the Wellness Centre and is accepting new patients effective immediately.
Jessica Watt who is the recruitment and retention coordinator for the Saskatchewan Health Authority in the region said the process to hire doctors starts when students are in school and during their residencies..
“We have residents that come through Melfort all the time and our physicians are fabulous self recruiters as well,” Watt told northeastNOW.
