How to get a family doctor in Nunavut

Nunavut provides primary care through community health centres staffed largely by nurses, with visiting physicians. There is no family-doctor roster in the southern sense.

No central waitlist in Nunavut

Clinics manage their own patient rosters here, so there is no one list to join. You have to contact clinics directly.

Step by step

  1. Register with your community health centre.
  2. Ask about the visiting physician schedule for your community.
  3. Keep your Nunavut health card current.

While you wait

  • Community health centres are the first point of contact for all care.
  • Medical travel is arranged through the health centre when required.
