Physicians face a maze of regulations when attempting to practise beyond their home province. We must break these chains.

The licensing exam is the same Canada wide for all doctors of a same speciality. There are minor differences in the curriculum of a few disciplines but nothing big enough for the patients to worry. Then I suppose jobs will be given after an interview process and that process will remove MDs that can’t speak the language of the local population and favour those that have more thorough training.
