Other Health Professions Category
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Under this category, Saskatchewan can nominate other health
professionals currently working in health occupations that
fall into the National Occupational Classification Matrix (http://www23.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/2001/e/generic/matrix.pdf)
level "A" or "B" or requires at least one (1) academic year
of post secondary education or 1 year of job specific training
and is supported by the appropriate licensing body (if applicable),
Saskatchewan Health, the appropriate regional health authority
or other employer.
Many health occupations require a license or other credential
in order to practice in Saskatchewan. There are twenty-three
health regulatory authorities in Saskatchewan that license
and certify health occupations. If you are not currently employed
in Saskatchewan in a health occupation, you should contact
the appropriate regulatory authority, to ascertain what further
studies, examinations and/or certifications are needed in order
to qualify to work in Saskatchewan. A list of regulatory authorities
in Saskatchewan can be found at http://www.health.gov.sk.ca/ph_hr_self-reg_profs.html.
