The Government of Saskatchewan is mounting a work environment review for physicians in Regina following allegations of racism, misconduct, and a lack of professionalism.
"There's been some issues identified over the last couple of years in terms of allegations of misconduct between physicians in the City of Regina," Minister of Health Jeremy Cockrill told reporters Monday.
"Certainly, there's been some allegations of racism, as one example."
Two medical professionals have been contracted to lead an independent external review of the work environment in Regina’s hospitals.
"I should be clear — it's not an investigation of specific physicians. This is a review of the entire physician community and culture within the City of Regina," Cockrill added.
"Understanding what the current state is and understanding how we make it better."
One of the consultants is a physician from Ontario while the other is from Nova Scotia. Together, the province says, they tout decades of experience working in a variety of hospital settings.
