The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to remove licensing barriers for doctors trained in U.S., Ireland, Australia and Britain
Ontario’s physician regulator is making it easier for doctors who were trained in the U.S., Ireland, Australia and Britain to practise medicine in the province, as jurisdictions around the country compete to remove licensing barriers in an effort to address chronic shortages in health care.
international applicants to entry-level residency positions has fallen 40 per cent between 2013 and 2022. “We’re glad there’s going to be some fast-tracking. But there’s a very serious concern it’s excluding the vast majority of people who come from other countries,” said Rosemary Pawliuk, a lawyer and spokesperson for the Society of Canadians Studying Medicine Abroad, an advocacy group for foreign-trained physicians.
The college was unable to estimate how many more physicians may be able to begin working in Ontario under the new measures announced Tuesday. “It’s almost like you’ve got a bucket, and they’re pouring water into it, but they’ve ensured there’s a lot of holes in it so the bucket never fills,” she said.
