Roanne Rae Newbie. Aug 12, 6 1. I graduated Medicine in and finished one year internship last June in the Philippines. Do you have a step by step guide for me to follow or how to process requirements to be able to practice medicine in Canada? Thank you very much in advance. Jun 18, 56, 13, Roanne Rae said:. As you will soon find out getting licensed can be very challenging and many never get licensed. You have to start with passing MCCQE and then find a residency spot that is leftover after Canadian students have matched.
There are only a limited amount of spots left. These are small programs but this is on the job training versus residency. You need to get selected. Thank you, I appreciate it. Physician asssistant perhaps or anything better? Thank you. Canadian students pick first.
Canadians who studied abroad and other IMG compete for whatever spots remain after the Canadian student match. The demand for the spots is much higher than the spots left.
You have to go into the process knowing you may not get a spot or it could take a few years. For some specialities it would not be advisable because there are rarely any leftover residencies in certain specialities like dermatology, radiology, plastic surgery, opthamology, etc. You can look up what residencies were left after the Canadian medical students match for the past few years. Physician assistants are not used in most areas of the country.
