We believe that moving your medical career to the Yukon should feel as inspiring and rewarding as living and working here every day.
If the thought of relocating your practice, navigating licensing, and finding the right community feels overwhelming, YukonDocs and the Yukon Medical Association (YMA) are here to make the transition smoother — and more welcoming.
YukonDocs and the YMA will assist you in accessing a range of supports designed to reduce both the stress and the cost of making the move North. Varying by the specialty and the community you choose, incentives will help you secure a practice opportunity, settle into housing, and offset relocation expenses. Financial supports can assist with travel and moving costs, while competitive compensation models, recruitment incentives, continuing professional development supports, and comprehensive benefits help make practicing in the Yukon as attractive as the lifestyle itself.
Key Benefits include:
- $125,000 Recruitment Incentive (over 5 years)
- $125,000 Acute Care Incentive (over 5 years)
- Up to $72,000 in Overhead Support
- Up to $50,000 Longitudinal Family Medicine Program
- CME, CMPA, Parental Leave & more
Member and Benefit Program details can be found here.
Beyond the financial incentives, the Yukon Medical Association will support you professionally and personally — advocating on your behalf, connecting you with colleagues, and helping you build a sustainable, rewarding practice in a close-knit medical community.
You’ve been waiting long enough to find the kind of meaningful work and balanced lifestyle you’ve been envisioning. With the support of YukonDocs and the incentives available through the Yukon Medical Association, you don’t have to wait any longer.
