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:

1. For physicians licensed in Nova Scotia, there is no requirement for College approval for this field of practice.
2. Any physician licensed in Canada may deliver telemedicine services in Nova Scotia, unless specifically restricted from doing so by their licensing body;
3. The regulation of the medical services you provide into Nova Scotia rests with your licensing college.
4. All physicians delivering telemedicine services in Nova Scotia should refer to the College’s Professional Standards for the Provision of Telemedicine Services.
