Province ‘rolls out welcome mat’ for U.S. scientists, healthcare professionals

Canadian provinces recruiting US healthcare professionals

Manitoba has launched targeted recruitment efforts aimed at bringing displaced researchers to Canada, following the U.S. federal government’s decision to cut thousands of jobs at several American institutions, according to the report.

The provincial government is “rolling out the welcome mat” for U.S.-trained doctors, nurses, and researchers affected by the cuts, says provincial Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara, according to the report.

This comes as the U.S.’s Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is aiming to cut 20,000 jobs at agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Many of those affected are scientists and public health experts who oversaw cancer research, vaccine approvals, infectious disease prevention, and public health policy. According to CBC, more than 10,000 layoffs have already occurred.

Manitoba is currently in discussions with over a dozen U.S.-based physicians interested in relocating, Asagwara says to CBC.
