Application completion tips

• Meet the deadline
  Submit the application by the deadline: March 31 or Sept. 30
• Consult with colleagues
  Consult with colleagues to ensure all factors have been carefully considered in the fee application. (Section involvement is encouraged.)
• Complete all fields
  Ensure every field in the application is complete. (Take advantage of the application help offered by Doctors Nova Scotia.)
• Patient records
  Provide 10 fully redacted OR records (or nurses' notes/assessment reports if OR records aren't applicable) for the fee application.
• Supporting research
  Provide research (evidence) readings that support the fee application.
• Executive summary
  Prepare an executive summary within the form. It's an excellent opportunity to provide additional information/commentary that isn't already included in the fee application. The executive summary has a limit of 500 words, if more space is required, a cover letter can be used.
