Incentives deal falls short, family-medicine residents say

Cindy E. Harnett – June 22, 2022

Family-medicine residents studying at the University of B.C. have written to health-care leaders to say a two-year deal they’ve been offered fails to address soaring overhead costs, fails to increase fees physicians can charge for services, neglects the issue of physician burnout, and lacks collaboration and a long-term strategy.

They say more attention needs to be paid to overhead costs, physician burnout and long-term strategy.

“We ask that both the Ministry of Health and Doctors of B.C. meet with UBC Family Medicine resident representatives directly to discuss solutions that will be presented to the graduating class of residents,” says the June 20 letter signed by Dr. Ana Boskovic, representing residents, and Dr. Romina Moradi, representing international residents.
