COVID-19 Telemedicine Services
The College recognizes the growing role of telemedicine or virtual medicine in our pandemic response. As such, the College wishes physicians to be aware of the following:
- For physicians licensed in Nova Scotia, there is no requirement for College approval for this field of practice.
- Any physician licensed in Canada may deliver telemedicine services in Nova Scotia, unless specifically restricted from doing so by their licensing body;
- The regulation of the medical services you provide into Nova Scotia rests with your licensing college.
- All physicians delivering telemedicine services in Nova Scotia should refer to the College’s Professional Standards for the Provision of Telemedicine Services.
