PACE Office Based Pathway
Nova Scotia’s Office Based Primary Care PACE Pathway provides internationally trained physicians a dedicated, workplace-based assessment route to independent inpatient practice and Canadian licensure.
What is the Office Based Primary Care Assessment Program?
The office-based primary care program has two dedicated assessment centres that also serve as medical clinics designed to evaluate internationally trained physicians (ITPs) in office-based primary care. At the PACE Clinic, the Candidates provide primary care to the patients of PACE while overseen by the well-trained family physician Assessors.
The office-based primary care PACE Clinics are located at the Halifax Shopping Centre and 117 Kearney Lake Road. If you are selected for the office-based primary care assessment program, the PACE team will advise you of the location where your assessment will take place.
