College Welcomes Atlantic Register

The College is pleased to announce the launch of the Atlantic Register on May 1, 2023. 

The Register will be available to all physicians in an Atlantic province licensed to practise without conditions, restrictions, undertakings or supervision. Physicians who wish to opt onto the Atlantic Register will do so by advising their home College and providing their consent. The annual cost is $500.00 and replaces all fees associated with temporary or locum licences. Physicians on the Atlantic Register can practise throughout the region as of right. 

The creation of the Atlantic Register is the result of a collaboration over several months between all four Atlantic provinces. It is built upon substantial agreement by all Colleges on the criteria for licensure and advances the spirit and intent of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement.

The announcement of the Register issued by the Council of Atlantic Premiers is available on Council of Atlantic Premiers website.

The College will be communicating directly with physicians in advance of May 1.
