Article 19.1 Credentials
It is agreed and understood that licensure of physicians is the function of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan and credentialing of physicians is the function of the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer undertakes to use its best efforts to provide educational continuity in any such circumstances. Moreover, the Employer will encourage the CPSS and the SHA to ensure that the principles of natural justice apply to any such suspensions or dismissals and the review thereof.
