Working

Saskatchewan is the birthplace of Medicare in Canada and a model for health care reform around the world.  Residents receive free medical care and have access to some of the world's best medical facilities, systems and technologies. 

Over the years, Saskatchewan has welcomed health professionals from around the world.  Those who have come, say they chose Saskatchewan for a variety of reasons:  the job opportunities, to be closer to family or friends who have immigrated here, and for the lifestyle and educational facilities Saskatchewan offers them and their families.

Health professionals educated outside Canada are an important part of our health care system.  Job opportunities are available across the province - in small rural and northern communities as well as in the larger urban centres of Saskatoon and Regina.
