Could i get my M.D. in the US and then move to canada?

Question

Would my degree still be valid in canada?

Answer 1

maybe, you should get it in canada though

Answer 2

You could.  But you'll be moving back quickly when you realize you have to choose your patients by a lottery system.

Answer 3

If the university that issues the degree is accredited, in the US, the degree is valid in Canada.  Contact the licensing board of the province in which you intend to practice to find out about being certified as a physician.   Find out whether it would be best to complete all requirments to be licenced as a physician in the US, or whether you could do the internships in Canada.  Also, do you plan on specialist training?  Fins out the best way to do this?

Answer 4

They would probably take you since they ahve a shortage of doctors.

The reason there is a shortage is because a skilled auto mechanic can earn more then a doctor. Guess why? Because Auto mechanics are pais from customers, Doctors are paid from the government.

Answer 5

You need to call a Medical Board in Canada. I can't talk for Canada, but here in the USA, every state has their own requirements and every state has their own medical board, the situation in Canada maybe is different but if we accept Canadians in the USA, I guess that in Canada they also accept USA accreditation.

Most likely the decision will be based if you meet their requirements.

Answer 6

Yes, you would still have to get licensed but Canada accepts degrees from US medical schools.  Do your residency in the US, resident positions are sort of hard to come by in Canada.

Don't believe all the BS about the Canadian health care system, doctors here make a comfortable living.
