In 2. 01. 2, international medical graduates IMGs accounted for 3. Newfoundland and Labradors physicians, and 4. Saskatchewans. There are two routes for internationally educated doctors. Those who have completed residencies overseas can pursue restricted or full licences. However, many international graduates will need to do a residency in Canada to enter the system. UCLA physicians and providers are a select group of experts who have distinguished themselves as innovative leaders in their chosen disciplines. As part of an. Canadian students who studied at an accredited school in the U. S. can compete directly with Canadian medical graduates for residencies. Those from other countries apply for a limited number of spots, which are often tied to return of service contracts that specify where in Canada they can or cannot work after they complete their residencies. The competition for these positions is handled through the Canadian Resident Matching Service Ca. RMS. The rise of IMGs in Canada. In Ontario, the first formal training program for IMGs began in 1. Those numbers stayed low in the 1. National Action Plan on Physician Resources Management resulted in a 1.

Kendry Report in 1. IMG residency positions rose, and included specialties for the first time. In 2. 00. 4, the Canadian Task Force on the Licensure of International Medical Graduates recommended clearer standards and better integration of IMGs. That year, Ontario also increased its number of residency  spots to 2. It remains there, making up almost half of the IMG positions across the country. Those used to be second round positions, which meant IMGs could only apply for them after Canadian graduates had gone through the first Ca. RMS iteration. But in 2. IMGs were designated some spots in the first round of the match. It gave them a broader range of career options, says Sandra Banner, executive director of Ca. RMS. Its horribly competitiveIn 2. IMGs applied for the Ontario positions, but only 2. In comparison, 9. Canadian graduates matched in the first round of Ca.

Almost all who are willing to accept any residency spot are matched after the second round. Its horribly competitive for IMGs, says Sten Ardal, CEO of the Centre for the Evaluation of Health Professionals Educated Abroad. They have invested money along the way theres a lot of investment for a relatively small chance of actually getting accepted into the residency. On the whole, more IMGs now enter residency programs in Canada. In 2. 00. 0, they made up 5 of first year residents by 2. But because so many more now apply, the chances each will be successful has actually dropped. Will Canada slow the flow of IMGsA recent CMAJ article about Canadians studying overseas suggests that as the number of doctors trained in Canada grows, it might become even more difficult for IMGs. In the 1. Canada. Given the dramatic increase in domestic training, it would not be a surprise to see new government policies with similar intent soon, it reads. The number of doctors in Canada has reached a high, and reports of unemployed doctors are increasingly common. Enrollment in Canadian medical schools has grown by 8. Preface. We are very excited about the publication of the first edition of Therapy in Pediatric Dermatology Management of Pediatric Skin Disease. We are the Faculty of Medicine Dentistry at the University of Alberta, one of the worlds elite academic health sciences centres, where top students are taught by. And physician supply increased by 4 a year between 2. However, the number of doctors per capita in Canada remains relatively low compared to other countries. Youre seeing some specialties, particularly ones that require complementary resources such as operating room time, having trouble finding places, says Morris Barer, co author of the CMAJ article and professor at the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research at UBC. Issuu is a digital publishing platform that makes it simple to publish magazines, catalogs, newspapers, books, and more online. Easily share your publications and get. My expectation is that that will spread to more specialties and become worse over time. Those under or unemployed doctors might then influence government policies. If we continue to see Canadian graduates ending up having trouble finding work, theres going to almost inevitably be increased pressure from them to choke off the routes from outside the country, he says. But for many, the idea of not having IMGs feels un Canadian. To us its a complete brain waste if we have these qualified international medical graduates who could be working within our workforce, says Sandra Mac. Donald Rencz, acting senior director for Health Canadas health human resource policy division. Its important to be able to assess their credentials and integrate them if we have that need. The rural divide. Death Spiritual Healing Rar File more. IMGs are often used to help staff rural areas they sign agreements to work in underserved areas for a set amount of time after their residency. But this can create a revolving door phenomenon, where doctors begin in rural areas, but soon move to urban ones. One study found nearly half of newly licenced doctors in Newfoundland and Labrador left after two years, and 8. Recent information in the 2. National Physician Survey suggests this may be more of an issue for IMGs than graduates of Canadian medical schools. IMGs are more likely to want to leave a rural area to practice in an urban area, with 1. IMGs saying they intend to make the move, compared with only 9 of rural Canadian medical graduates. IMGs were also less satisfied with their personal and professional life balance than the Canadian graduates. The rise of Canadians studying medicine overseas. The term IMG includes both immigrants and Canadians who have gone abroad for their medical degrees. The Canadian cohort has increased substantially over the past few years, with a 2. Canadians were studying medicine abroad. In 2. 00. 8, 1. 2 of the IMGs in the Ca. RMS match were Canadians who had studied overseas. By 2. 01. 1, that had increased to 2. The shift has been so distinct that the Centre for the Evaluation of Health Professionals Educated Abroad changed its programming in response, says Ardal, the organizations CEO. The Canadian IMG subgroup also seems to enjoy an advantage In 2. IMG applicants, but obtained more than half of the first year residency positions given to international medical graduates. Over 9. 0 per cent of Canadians studying abroad hope to return to Canada for their postgraduate training, and some people have even called for their preferential treatment over other IMGs. But that may be a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, since the Canadians would be getting ahead just because of their country of birth. Adding to the confusion is the fact that many Canadians who study medicine overseas believe there is a doctor shortage in Canada. Students get their information from the media, where many articles are about shortages, says Barer. So they will assume there are shortages, and they will assume there will be no problem getting in. Barers CMAJ article highlights the need for increased communication. Policy makers in both government and medicine should be crystal clear about prospects for Canadians thinking of studying medicine abroad, it reads. Anything less seems irresponsible and invites understandable backlash. Mac. Donald Rencz agrees that communication is an issue, adding that the Physician Resource Planning Task Force is working on the problem. I think many Canadian students who go overseas are surprised that theyre considered international medical graduates, she says.
