The 2025 Annual Rural Physician Confirmation Survey (Physician Count) is conducted yearly and provides foundational information to inform rural incentives for physicians providing care in Rural Subsidiary Agreement (RSA) communities. The survey data is used to inform rural physician benefits and the community's overall Rural Retention Program (RRP) score. It is important to have accurate physician information so funding can be properly allocated for both physicians and communities.
If you are a rural physician residing and practicing in an RSA community and you have not received your email invitation to complete the survey, please contact the Rural Programs' Liaison at ruralprograms@islandhealth.ca. The survey must be completed by Friday 21 December 2025.
