As Resident Doctors Appreciation Week 2026 begins, I would like to take a moment to recognize and thank the resident doctors across our province for the care they provide to patients every day.
Resident doctors are on the front lines of our health care system, learning, teaching, and delivering compassionate care under immense pressure. Their commitment helps make health care better for all of us, now and for generations to come.

The financial boons offered via the Come Home Year 2022 Incentive may attract the health-care workers to N.L., but some say more institutional change is needed in order to keep them in the province beyond three or five years.
