The community of Quesnel in northern B.C. is pulling out all the stops to attract U.S.-trained physicians and solve previously long waits for family doctors.
A health-care recruiter in the community of around 10,000 people says the city’s so-called “red carpet” approach is working — with at least four doctors committed to work there by the end of the summer.
Quesnel’s push to attract American-educated physicians comes amid a wider push by the B.C. government to do so, especially in a bid to alleviate health-care shortages in rural communities.
