Welcome Residents
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia
welcomes all new and returning residents for the 2008
/ 2009 academic year. By now, you should have received
your 2008 / 2009 educational license. Please keep
this in a safe place as you will probably be asked
to present it periodically during the academic year.
The College sends regular information and updates
to physicians. Please ensure that the College has
your most current contact information by using our
Notification
of Change Form.
The College’s website
offers a variety of publications, policies and guidelines
for your information. However, please feel free to
contact the College at
any time for assistance.
Certificates of Standing / Verification of Licensure
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia
provides Certificates of Standing/Verification of
Licensure. If you require a Certificate of Standing
/ Verification of Licensure, you will need to complete
a Consent
for Certificate of Standing form.
Consent forms are available on the College website
or by contacting the College. The completed consent
form can be sent to the College by regular mail, by
fax to (902)422-5035, or by email to registration@cpsns.ns.ca.
If sent by fax or e-mail, payment must be made by
Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.
Certificates / Verifications are sent directly to
the licensing authority requesting the document within
one week after the College receives the completed
form.
If you are leaving the Dalhousie program and applying
for a license outside Nova Scotia (either for further
post-graduate training with another medical school
or to obtain a full license) there is a $60 fee for
Certificates / Verifications. If you require a Certificate
/ Verification for elective purposes be sure to indicate
this fact on your consent form so that you will not
be charged the fee.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate
to contact the Registration Department at the contact
