B.C. launches marketing campaign to entice U.S. doctors and nurses to move to the province.

Health Minister Josie Osborne says the move is to help address the acute shortage of health-care workers.

Osborne says she doesn't know how many doctors will take up the call, but pointed to a campaign last year to encourage doctors from the U.K. and Ireland .

Rural Health critic Brennan Day said over 700,000 British Columbians are still without a family doctor, and more than 1.2 million are on wait lists for specialists. “This policy shift is long overdue, and I sincerely hope it delivers real results for British Columbians. We need to see trained doctors and nurses getting licensed and working in our communities within weeks , not years. The NDP is good at making flashy announcements, but what matters now is follow-through,” said Day in a statement..
