Disability Insurance
As a member of Resident Doctors of Saskatchewan, you have the option to enrol in disability insurance provided through RDoS and the Saskatchewan Medical Association. The premiums are paid by your employer (USask) as part of our collective bargaining agreement. You have the option to continue coverage when you complete residency by assuming the premiums.
This coverage is optional - you are not covered until you opt in by completing the required forms (SMA Membership is required). Send all completed forms to the SMA.
