Will I have access to compete for residency positions in my Canadian province or territory?

Yes. Most provinces have dedicated residency positions for international medical graduates (IMGs). For example, Ontario currently has 200 dedicated IMG residency positions (as of August 2022). As you may know, Canada has a physician shortage – in particular in rural, remote, and other underserved areas. IMG residency positions are designed both to provide optimal training to the resident and to address the physician shortage.

OUM’s mission to improve the health of underserved communities in Oceania and beyond is very well aligned with Canada’s needs.
