Qualifications

Recent changes to registration and licensure have reduced barriers and allow doctors with comparable credentials to work in our province faster. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Newfoundland and Labrador (CPSNL) regulates the practice of medicine in the public interest. Newfoundland and Labrador has been diligently working to reduce barriers and to allow doctors with comparable credentials to work in our province more quickly.
