The registry, which would offer multi-jurisdictional licensing to improve physician mobility in the region, is anticipated to launch on May 1.Two more doctors leaving P.E.I., including one of only two plastic surgeons in the province "So, anytime there is mobility, especially for a small jurisdiction like Prince Edward Island, and I would say for all of our Atlantic provinces, that it really increases the opportunities for physicians to come here," said King."Nothing that we do in health is a magic bullet that will just miraculously fix everything, but I think this is just one small little thing that keeps us moving forward and will make a difference, not just today but into the future.
