CAPP assessed an ninth cohort of 36 International Medical Graduate (IMG) physicians in June 2012.

The Credentials Committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia met in June 2012 and deemed eight candidates to be eligible for a defined license to practice family medicine in Nova Scotia.

To date, CAPP has assessed 291 candidates; 63 of whom were deemed eligible for a defined license in Nova Scotia. The next assessment date has been confirmed for June 3 and 4, 2013.

The physicians from the ninth cohort will begin mentored practice in late fall 2012.
