Important Reminders to All Postgraduate Trainees

Defined License for Postgraduate Trainees (Resident Moonlighting)
Your current moonlighting license will expire June 30, 2007. You can obtain a moonlighting application for the 2007/2008 academic year on the CPSNS website at: www.cpsns.ns.ca/Registration/defined-license-postgrad-trainees.htm.

It is your responsibility to complete all the application requirements. Failure to do so could result in a delay in obtaining a defined license for postgraduate trainees which is required prior to moonlighting in Nova Scotia. Once your application is complete, please allow sufficient time for processing by the Registration Department. The Registration Department is unable to guarantee any applicant that s/he will be issued a license by a particular date. You must not begin moonlighting until you have confirmation from this office that the registration has been issued. Notification will be sent to you via the e-mail address you have supplied on the application form.

Leave of Absence during Educational License Renewal Time
If you will be on a “Leave of Absence” during May/June and will not be receiving a paycheque you will be responsible for payment of the $75.00 fee directly to this office. Prior to returning to your training program you should check with the College's Registration Department (phone Ann Chipman at 902-421-2213, or e-mail achipman@cpsns.ns.ca) to ensure that your educational license is renewed.
