Canadian medical grad here (specifically uOttawa grad, now at McGill)! Agree with most of this, though will add some my two cents: 1) There are certain "premed" programs in Canada, where you can get in straight after high school. This includes many Quebec schools + Queen's University 2) The average tuition is very variable, but Ontario tuitions are quite high. When I was in med school, It was $25K/year but increasing by $1000 each year. 3) MCAT is not taken at schools where French is involved, as there is no French MCAT. uOttawa has both a French and English program, so it doesn't make sense for 1 of its programs to require the MCAT. None of the Quebec schools require it as well. Hope that helps!!

Because otherwise, even if you practiced in Canada for years and you end up moving to the US, you have to do it. And from what I heard, it is truly painful to go through that process after 20 years into a specialty haha!

In Sweden, med school is right now 5,5 years, but we have no college equivalent here and can apply as soon as we’re out of gymnasiet (“high school”). In my med school, the first 2,5 years are theoretical while 2,5 are practical and 0,5 years are for research. After we’re done, we’re not licensed doctors, only “examinated”. To get a license, we have to work 1,5 years AT (allmäntjänstgöring, kinda like a general internship). Then we’ve a licence, and can specialize which takes > 5 years. But this autumn, the new swedish med school program will take 6 years with no AT afterwards.

Such activities pose significant concerns to patient privacy and confidentiality, and will not result in an increased NAQ score or improved chances of admission."

The 'shortage' that you hear about for physicians in Canada is also largely due to where physicians decide to work. There is a large problem with motivating physicians to work in underserved rural and First Nation reservation areas within Canada. This is evidenced by existing and proposed incentives to get physicians to stay in these locations. This isn't surprising, as I don't imagine most graduates--strong type A individuals--find living in the frigid cold, working less well-compensated family medicine, residing in a small town, and not having much to do with their free time very appealing. You can increase residency spots--and thus medical school seats--with more funding, but I believe that would only marginally address the problem, while more graduates emigrate. Canadian law schools are also extremely competitive. When I looked at the average AGPA for a matriculant at the University of Alberta, I believe it was about 3.8. In the United States, there are of course very competitive law schools; however, there's also many decent fallback law schools if you're not an exceptional applicant, unlike Canada.

Why does everyone forget about Quebec when talking about Canada :') half med students don't have BSc (they can do 1 pre-med year after CEGEP, & 1 school even allows them to skip that) and it's considered to be an undergrad here. People usually apply right after CEGEP, which is 2 years of ""college"" that everyone has to do after high school before we go into university. Our high school is 1 year shorter than yours. After that, if you don't get in, you usually do a BSc & reapply after, which is 3 years instead of 4. Tuition is much cheaper than what you said, and the admission process is much more simple (no MCAT, personal statement or letter of recommendation are required, for instance). It's more competitive, but they don't distinguish reapplicants from other first-time applicants, and since it's easier to apply, we usually don't mind going through the process multiple times. Applying is also MUCH LESS expensive. Admission is based ++++ on grades and the score they calculate varies greatly depending on the class average, the difficulty of your program, etc. Once we start med-school, everything is pass-fail, we don't get grades anymore. French speakers only have 3 universities they can apply to, and otherwise, we have only 5 choices if we don't take the MCAT (Montreal, Sherbrooke, Laval, McGill & Ottawa). It's therefore very difficult for us to understand what you guys experience in the US, as we never really have to go very far to go study medicine; but also, the majority of us simply never get in, whereas it feels like it's more achievable for you guys (I might be wrong though). I'd really like to have your opinion on that as it's very different from the rest of Canada & the rest of the world also!

Also, no DO schools in Canada. Did not even know what it was before I started following you. We have osteopaths, but these are not physicians, it's a completely different program. No PA schools in Quebec either.

Entry in French Quebec schools for Quebec residents or students born in Quebec is very different than applying to English med schools and applying from out of province. It is much easier to get accepted as a French Quebec residents into a French Quebec medical school.

In the US the last year of medical school is all about how to extort and maximize profits per each patient whereas in Canada ( and Europe) it's about how to treat and help people. I've lived and worked 15 years in the US and 12 years in the UK. In the US everything and I mean everything is about metrics and targets, whether you're a stockbroker, real estate, dentist, lawyer or doctor....it's all about billable hours or commissions or how many accounts you opened etc etc. It's so sick it's crazy!

Back when I wanted to go to med school in Canada you got into U of T if you had high grades and were of 2 ethnic connections, or moneied. I chose a nursing degree since I wasn't any of those things. By the end of my 4yrs undergrad there was a shift as McMaster started group interviewing with group problem solving and actively recruiting women students. So now 40 yrs later we now have Queens giving med school entry by race not merit, and Memorial working hard with foreign students but when they graduate the other provinces grab the needed specialists. Like someone else said here Canada is currently whacky under our PM.

One can't wait around for opportunities to happen when the US has many available.

The "lobbying" theory is so unbelievably American. Canada subsidizes the training of its doctors. It's expensive and therefore highly selective. I believe that the doctors graduating medical schools in Canada right now are some of the best in the world. They're interested in public health, patient centered care, and the social determinants of health. I miss the medical care I use to receive in Canada. I've found it extremely hard to find a decent doctor in the NY who is personable and doesn't just refer me to specialists.

American physician here...I actually don't think it is a "requirement" to have your bachelor's degree at all American medical schools. I checked my alma matter, and it states you must have "Completion of no less than 75% of the credits required for a baccalaureate degree from a United States Department of Education." It then it goes on to list the course prerequisites you must have in order to apply. That being said, there isn't actually a requirement that states you must have graduated law school to become a justice on the Supreme Court, yet I doubt you would be considered a competitive applicant if you didn't.
