Returning to Canada after completing a US residency……… Ontario The following information was obtained from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario website (http://cpso.on.ca/policies-publications/policy/pathway-4-–-img-with-us-postgraduate-training-and#pathway4) In 2008 the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) approved a policy that established 4 new “pathways” to obtain independent medical licensure in Ontario Pathway 4 is relevant for IMGs with US postgraduate training and certification
An IMG qualifies for Pathway 4 if the applicant has: 1) successfully completed a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education 2) been certified by a US specialty board 3) successfully completed the US Medical Licensing Examination or successfully completed an acceptable alternative examination and 4) an independent or full license or certificate to practice without restrictions in the US or is eligible to apply for an independent or full license or certificate of registration to practice without restrictions in the US
Important notes about pathway 4…. This pathway DOES NOT require that the ACGME residency be comparable in content and duration to a Canadian training program in the same discipline The physician must practice with a mentor and/or supervisor until he/she has successfully completed an assessment The physician must undergo an assessment after completing a minimum of 1 year of practice in Ontario. The certificate of registration automatically expires 18 months from the date of issuance, but may be renewed by the registration committee, with or without additional or other terms, conditions and limitations
