Can US trained physician with foreign diploma outside US practice in Canada?

My understanding is that you may have to write some exams that validates you to practice in Canada. However, with the doctor shortage in Canada, I'm sure that they would lead you down the path of success.\n\nThis link maybe a good start.

I have to disagree.  I think that certain foreign distance learning programs are gaining acceptance in Canada (I used studies in one as a way of transferring to a highly recognized full time professional program on my return to Canada), but I think the availability of distance learning programs from Canadian universities is still quite limited.\n\nUS distance learning programs carry a stigma that European programs have avoided.  This is the unfrtunate result of the number of degree mills that operate out of the US.\n\nI think that as more Canadian universities offer distance learning, you will find that they will become quite competitive with US programs, partly because this stigma will be avoided (due to the way universities here are regulated).  The typically broader world view will also be useful for developing respected programs, as will the fact that the typical Canadian university is a better educational institution than the majority of the state universities.\n\nDevelopments will be slowest, however, in areas such as law, medicine, engneering, and other regulated professions - where the degree is driven by an accreditation process that is closely linked to the regulating body's expectations.  While the degree might be made available, it might not be as readily accepted in other jurisdictions (especially internationally).

Yes.\nYou need to apply in the US.

yes\n\nComprehension - Canada is much more nearer to US than India, thereby  Canada can get new information, medical discoveries, new technology and procedures much faster than India.\n\nSymposium and seminars - it will be easier for the Canadian to travel to US for important seminars, lectures, convention thna those in India that need to travel across different time zone.\n\nResearch - there are far more research being done in the US than in India, which for the Canadian counterpart is easier to access than those in India. India may be the next center of research, but before we get there, you need to complete your education where it is ahead than the rest.\n\nLibraries - Canadian libraries are fully stock as those in the US, in India? \n\nPotentiality - Western hemisphere have the potential now than Asia.\n\nDo I need to list more?

My husband is a third year med student in the US.  He'll go through a total of four years as a student.  (Split in half, two years in classroom, two years doing clinical rotations with preceptors.)  Then he'll do an intern year followed by a 3 year long residency.  He's going into IM and Peds.  Other specialities have differing residency lengths.  A board certified residency is required for licensing in the US, along with passing the USMLE exams along the way.  \n\nIs this similar to the education for docs in the UK?\n\nIf it's similar, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  In all, it's at least 8 years worth of post-graduate schooling/training.  That's adequate for a family care doc.  Surgeons in the US have longer residencies.  I'd imagine it would be the same in the UK, too. \n\nBut please, correct me if I'm wrong.  It's certainly happened before!

I assume you are in Ontario, because you're talking about the G2.  Each province has different rules.  The graduated system was created to make sure you get experience gradually.  As far as I know, there is no way around it, and there shouldn't be.  I can't imagine how it would be a matter of survival.\n\nThe only option I could think of is if you have two residences, like a school and a home, or separated parents in different provinces, and you could get your licence in a province without the graduated system.

In order to come to the USA for employment as a health care worker, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services require:\n\n"Any non-U.S. citizen coming to the United States for employment as a health care worker (other than a physician) cannot be admitted unless he or she presents a certificate from either the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or a certificate of equal standing from an organization with equivalent credentials. These requirements apply to both immigrant and nonimmigrant applicants."\n\nIn addition, licensing requirements vary from state to state, so you would have to specify in which state you intend to work, to receive a complete answer to your question.

Your M.D. is conferred at graduation, but that doesn't mean you can get a license to practice medicine. States require different levels of post-graduate education, but at least an internship year and in many states a three-year residency are minimal requirements for licensure.

Both the US and Canada offer programs for International Medicine Studies.  Contact the Embassy for the country you plan to study in.  They can provide you the applications, requirements, and in most cases even help with the transfer credidation for your current school to the program that you wish to attend.

Your proposed document is self-serving.\n\nAn affidavit or even an unsworn letter from a professional person -- lawyer or doctor -- who knows you would be more impressive. I wrote such a letter for our former nanny, who is going from England on a short visit to Florida with her son.\n\nAs for taking a child to another jurisdiction (state or province) to reside, you should know that if the other parent (whether or not having custodial rights) has visitation privileges you cannot move the child's habitual residence to another jurisdiction without his or a court's consent. The operative document is The Hague Convention on Child Abduction, and states and provinces enforce similar rules domestically as well.\n\nIf you are not Canadian, you might qualify for a NAFTA visa if you have a professional degree or qualification.

NO! definitely not. But it will get you emergency medical treatment within the EU Countries that subscribe to reciprocal medical services with your home country. The foreign hospital or clinic treating you will usually ask to see your passport or ID card as well as the E111. You cnnot however use an E111 for elective surgery for which you need an E112 which is available from the International Division of the NHS in the UK or its equivilent from another EU country if you are not British.

You will need to pass the USMLE exams (US Medical Licensing Examination) before you can be authorized to practice medicine in the USA. This is a lengthy process that also includes approving the university from which you obtained your medical degree. Please check the AMA (American Medical Association) website for more information.

I can't comment on Canadian tax law.  The American (I'll interpret that to mean US citizen) is subject to US tax law regardless of residence or source of income.  The link below is an IRS FAQ for US Citizens living Abroad.  I saw at least 3 questions that specifically mention Canada.  I don't know any of the rules, but this should be a good place to start researching.

each Province has its own teaching qualification training/requirements. I'm only familiar with Ontario's program.\n\nFor Ontario go to http://www.oct.ca/\n\nthere is a page for Internationally Educated Teachers on their site:  http://www.oct.ca/IET/?lang=en-CA

Well Sweetie, you shouldn't have any trouble. I am assuming the fellowship is like residency? Just keep trying. Try the bigger cities here in USA first. You know, like New York City, Houston (we have some of the world's best Doctors here in Houston), Los Angeles. Don't lose heart, someone will accept you. The US is a big country and I'm sure you'll find something here. I don't want to insult your intelligence but are you sure you have enough educational credits to satisfy the requirements in foreign countries? Sometimes, other countries training requirements are not as stringent as ours. You just keep trying and don't be discouraged. We can always use another fine Doctor such as yourself in America. If you have more questions then you can email me and I'll try to find the answers for you. Good luck and God speed, my friend.
