The SIPPA program is important in that it provides a stream of physicians entering our province who otherwise wouldn’t.
I’m very curious about the medium to long term retention rates though as it seems they so rarely stay in our province.

I saw negative impacts occur in real time as the doctor availability at the Red Earth Health Centre dropped significantly towards the end of 2024. Staff reported SIPPA physicians stationed in Nipawin had fulfilled their terms & left. No longterm retention there.
