Nova Scotia Partners with Lebanese Universities to Recruit Doctors to the Province

NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA, JUN 25 – The five-year agreement will bring 10 family physicians from Lebanese American University and additional doctors from American University of Beirut to help reduce Nova Scotia’s shortage of family doctors.

  • On June 25, 2025, Nova Scotia entered into a five-year memorandum with the Lebanese American University to facilitate the recruitment of family physicians to the province.
  • The agreement commits the university to send 10 ready-to-practise doctors, with two arriving each year during the five-year period.
  • Doctors participating in the program must commit to working within Nova Scotia for a period of three years, while two graduates from the American University of Beirut are currently practicing in the province.
  • The province plans to invest $5 million over the agreement duration to support residency, licensing, immigration, and relocation costs, Health Minister Michelle Thompson said.
  • This partnership could help address healthcare access issues given 91,423 people remain on the family practice waitlist and will strengthen Nova Scotia-Lebanon ties.
