Nova Scotia is working with two universities in Lebanon to bring more family doctors to the province. The Province and Lebanese American University in Beirut have signed a memorandum of agreement outlining a five-year pilot program that will see 10 ready-to-practise family physicians come to Nova Scotia, two in each year of the agreement. The government also has a strong relationship with Lebanon’s American University of Beirut. It has already supported two physicians who are now practising in Nova Scotia, with another set to arrive shortly. The Province will invest $5 million over the length of the agreement covering expenses; in turn, the doctors will be required to sign a three-year return-of-service agreement.
