High-Demand Resident Incentive Program

Learn about the High-Demand Resident Incentive Program in Saskatchewan, offering up to $60,000 for eligible medical residents in high-demand specialties.

Incentive Overview

Receive financial support during residency while securing your future practice in Saskatchewan’s high-demand specialties.

The High-Demand Resident Incentive Program supports University of Saskatchewan medical residents in select specialties including anesthesiology, diagnostic radiology, emergency medicine and pediatric emergency medicine (pursued outside Saskatchewan) who commit to a return-of-service in the province. Eligible residents can receive up to $60,000 during their training, with funding provided in their fourth and fifth years of residency.

To qualify, residents must be enrolled in an eligible program, meet postgraduate year requirements (PGY4 or PGY5), and agree to a return-of-service commitment equal to the length of funding received. Funding is awarded annually through an application process and is intended to strengthen physician supply in high-demand communities across Saskatchewan.
