Restricted Licence – Emergency

Policy Statement

In the event of an emergency (e.g. pandemic, natural disaster or terrorism) and where there is a need identified (e.g. shortage of physicians), the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia may enact this policy allowing emergency licensure.

Physicians licensed for independent medical practice and are in good standing in other provinces are eligible for emergency based licensure at the discretion of the Registrar.
