Yukon Party Calls for Targeted Recruitment of US Health Professionals
“The Yukon Party Official Opposition is calling on the Yukon government to capitalize on the current climate and recruit American doctors, nurses, and health professionals to the Yukon. This should include launching a marketing campaign to promote the opportunity for US-trained doctors, nurses, and other health professionals to come North and make the Yukon their home.”
Since early 2023, the Yukon Party has urged the Yukon Government to follow the lead of other provinces that have allowed doctors and surgeons trained in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand to practice without delay, and speed up the licensing of nurses from a short list of countries with high standards of training.

Yukon Party Proposes Solutions, Urges Government Action on Health Care Crisis
“The Yukon Party Official Opposition is again proposing solutions to fix the territory’s health crisis.”
“On Wednesday, the Yukon Legislative Assembly unanimously passed two Yukon Party motions that urged the government to take urgent action to improve access to doctors, following minor changes to those motions.
The first motion called for the government to allow American board-certified doctors, surgeons, and specialists to practice in the Yukon, speed up other U.S.-trained health professionals’ licensing and launch a marketing campaign to recruit American-trained health professionals and Canadian health professionals currently working in the United States.
The other motion called for working with the Yukon Medical Association to reduce the administrative burden on doctors and increase doctors’ time to see patients.”
Yukon Party Urges Government to Buy Local
“The Yukon Party Official Opposition suggests that the Yukon government do more to purchase local products and services from Yukoners in the private sector. With the uncertainty in North America, Yukon Party MLAs pitched several ways the government can support Yukon businesses and secure the territory’s economic future.”
