The province is looking for ways to remove barriers to Ukrainian doctors wishing to practice in the province.
Health Minister Tom Osborne met with eleven health professionals from the war-torn country about the problems they faced in gaining accreditation in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Osborne said they talked about the requirements for obtaining accreditation in Canada and this province, including background checks, required training and language proficiency.
He says the government is providing support to remove the language barrier.
He says the accreditation process is independent of the government, but the Department of Health is bringing in navigators to help newcomers find their way into the system. He says the Department for Immigration, Population Growth and Skills.
