Physician Resource Planning and Incremental Funding
Request for Incremental Physician Contract Funding or Fee-for-Service Conversion
On an annual basis, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and the University of Saskatchewan, College of Medicine (CoM) review requests for incremental physician contract funding and fee-for-service (FFS) conversions where additional funding may be required for the upcoming annual budget cycle.
These requests tie directly into Physician Resource Planning (PRP), which ensures that physician resources are aligned with system priorities, service needs, and budget considerations.
The Ministry requests that SHA and CoM submit a prioritized list totaling approximately 27 FTEs per year, including:
- 15 FTE specialty service requests (Medical Services Branch)
- 12 FTE community-based primary care service requests (Primary Care Branch)
These incremental requests focus on specialist and primary care positions expected to require new or additional contract (non-fee-for-service) funding. The goal is to identify gaps in primary care, specialties, and subspecialties that represent immediate funding priorities for existing services. For details on exclusions, see the Physician Resource Planning & Incremental Funding FAQs linked below.
