A doctor who signed an agreement to work for 10 years in The Pas, Manitoba has left after just 16 months and is refusing to repay a 100,000 dollar interest-free loan, according to court documents.

Dr. Andrea Wilson signed the agreement with The Pas Community Development Corporation in 2019 and agreed to work full-time for 10 years in the area.

She left on Nov. 7, 2021, and moved to Vancouver, breaching the agreement.

The Northern Regional Health Authority cancelled her contract with cause, and The Pas Community Development Corporation demanded loan repayment by Dec. 31, 2022, which never happened.

According to a recent survey, over 90% of Manitoba's municipalities report doctor shortages.
