CanAm screening for new physician in Weymouth

The search for a new family physician is under way in Weymouth.

The Muncipality of Digby hired CanAm Physician Recruitment earlier in December to find a replacement for recently-retired family physician, Dr. Don Westby.

CanAm CEO John Philpott says within the first week of the signed agreement, CanAm was able to source, screen and attract a fully-licensed Canadian candidate who will complete the interview process in Weymouth on January 21, 2016.

Warden Linda Gregory, chair of the Weymouth Doctor Recruitment Committee, says the group has been working for more than two years to ensure there wasn’t a lapse in medical care in Weymouth.

The community was “loud and clear” that action needed to be taken quickly, so the committee decided to enlist CanAm — one of the country’s leading recruitment firms.
