SINP — Health Professions Category

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Health professional applicants are individuals whose education and professional certification qualify them for employment in Saskatchewan in a Designated Health Profession.

DESIGNATED HEALTH PROFESSIONS
The SINP works in co-operation with Saskatchewan health employers, professional associations, Saskatchewan Health, and other health stakeholders, to identify Designated Health Professions as occupations experiencing a sustained occupational shortage that cannot be met through domestic recruitment, education or training.

Currently, physicians and nurses are the only “Designated Health Professions” under the SINP. Further professions are under review in consultation with health sector stakeholders. Watch this site for additional health professions to be added as “Designated Health Professions.”
