The provincial government has announced an additional retention initiative.


Family physicians are now eligible for a $25,000 recognition and retention bonus for a one-year return-in-service agreement.


This one-time bonus for all family physicians will be pro-rated, with family doctors doing full-time clinical work equalling five days per week receiving the full $25,000. This clinical work can be in private practice, working for a regional health authority, or a combination of both.


To qualify, family physicians must have been in practice in Newfoundland and Labrador for one full year as of March 1, 2023. Those with less than one year can receive a pro-rated portion of the bonus.


This will be an application-based process administered by the new Provincial Health Authority and will require the signing of a return-in-service agreement.
