NPs should be working in doctors offices with doctors. period. The exception to that would be areas that have no doctors.
Other provinces in Canada are about to gain some doctors.

Can you expand on how this would be a disincentive for retaining doctors.
I would have thought this would be an opportunity for Doctors with existing practices to expand hours and maximize income by employing NPs along side their existing practice.
