The Practitioner Staff Appeals Tribunal hears appeals from medical practitioners who have been aggrieved by decision of a Regional Health Authority. The Law Society is entitled to recommend 6 candidates to the Minister of Health. The Minister may appoint two of the candidates to a three year term on the Tribunal.

The ideal candidate will have experience in administrative law, appearing both on and before Tribunals. Experience in health law would be an asset.

Interested members should consult the Practitioner Staff Appeal Regulations and direct any enquiries to David Smith, Registrar of the Tribunal, at 787-0297.

Please submit a curriculum vitae to the attention of Tom Schonhoffer, Q.C., Executive Director at the Law Society prior to August 15, 2010, by email to his assistant llynchuk@lawsociety.sk.ca.
