$1.4 Million in tuition relief for future New Brunswick doctors, NPs

The New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation hosted its annual awards gala on Thursday, October 16. A record $1.4 million dollars was awarded to 166 future physicians and nurse practitioners, each of whom has committed to working in New Brunswick once qualified.

This milestone event showcased New Brunswick’s future doctors, and the growing impact of the charity, which administers one of the most effective solutions to the province’s healthcare staffing crisis. The program featured guest speakers and performances, student testimonials and messages from the organization's leadership team. Opening remarks were delivered by The Honourable Louise Imbault, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.

Doctors for N.B. is Canada’s only private, registered charity dedicated to recruiting and retaining future physicians, specialists and nurse practitioners. With millions in tuition relief awarded, 62 alumni practicing across the province and over 280 students in its pipeline, it administers the most successful recruitment initiative the province has seen.
