Sask. retained 61% of all physicians who graduated in June 2022, report finds

Just over 60 per cent of doctors who completed their studies in Saskatchewan in 2022 stayed behind to work in the province.

Just over 60 per cent of doctors who completed their studies in Saskatchewan in 2022 stayed behind to work in the province.

According to Saskatchewan’s Medical Services Branch annual report for 2021-22, physicians practicing family medicine boasted a 78 per cent retention rate (47 out of 64) while only 45 per cent of specialists chose to practice in the province after graduating (30 out of 67).

Both of the statistics combined equal a 61 per cent retention rate for the province's June 2022 class of medical practitioners – down from the 63 per cent reported in 2020-2021.

The Saskatchewan NDP said the recently released report proves the government’s retention strategy requires improvement – highlighting certain specialities that saw lower than average rates.

These include anesthesiologists (38 per cent), specialists for physical medicine and rehabilitation (25 per cent), general surgeons (17 per cent) and pediatric specialists (14 per cent).

Rural and Remote Health Critic Jared Clarke said the statistics are concerning.

“Saskatchewan people expect healthcare to be there for them when and where they need it,” he told reporters following question period on Monday. “What we have right now is 200,000 people in Saskatchewan who don't have access to a family doctor or primary care.”
