The purpose of Saskatchewan's Health Bursary Program is to retain and recruit needed health care professionals to meet the needs of the people of Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Health Bursary is offered to students in a variety of health disciplines. In return for this assistance, a bursary recipient must commit to work for a specific period of time in a publicly funded position in Saskatchewan.
The bursary program has three components:
- Health Disciplines Bursaries - This includes a number of health disciplines that are facing the greatest recruitment and retention difficulties. The specific disciplines eligible for bursary assistance changes on a yearly basis in order to adapt the retention and recruitment strategy to ongoing changes in markets and health systems.
- Nursing Bursaries - This includes bursaries for students studying a variety of nursing disciplines, such as those studying to become Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Primary Care Practitioners.
- Physician Bursaries - As part of the broad spectrum of retention and recruitment initiatives targeted at physicians, financial assistance is provided to physicians in various stages and types of education and practice. Information about physician bursaries is available from the Saskatchewan Medical Association (see Related Links below)
