Hello,
I am a medical doctor. I landed in Canada 2mn back, living in Toronto. I would like to continue my education in Canada. I know continuing medical education in Canada is not easy. I am looking for other related courses like genetics, biochemistry, research. I need to get some information about the available options for me. I want to sit with somebody and discuss. Who is the right person for that?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

It may be best for you to contact organizations that specifically serve foreign trained physicians in Ontario.

They may be able to give you some ideas of what type of related courses would be beneficial.

You can find some information here:

HealthForceOntario


According to the HealthForceOntario website,

The Access Centre within the HealthForceOntario Marketing and Recruitment Agency recognizes the challenges faced by IMGs living in Ontario and helps by providing information, advice and support during this process.

The Access Centre provides the following services to registered IMG clients:

-Intake and referral through e-mail and telephone.

-Information sessions focused on pathways to practise.

-Individualized plan of action to discuss licensing and certification via telephone, in-person or Skype appointment with an IEHP Advisor.

-On-site resource and reference library.

-CaRMS application guidance.

-Interview preparation.


You may also want to find some additional information on the

Ontarioimmigration.ca - Physician or Surgeon website.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
