TRANSFER OF A MEDICAL QUALIFICATION BACK TO CANADA
Before you can be considered for licensure by one of the Canadian regulatory bodies to practice medicine in Canada, your basic medical knowledge must be evaluated. In most cases, this means that you must pass the Medical Council of Canada’s Evaluating Examination (MCCEE). The examination is held four times a year, in various centres in Canada and abroad. Before you are eligible to write the Evaluating Examination, you must complete all the requirements to obtain the qualification of Doctor of Medicine, or equivalent, from the university that granted your medical degree. For more detailed information about transferring your overseas medical qualifications back to Canada, contact the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) at http://www.mcc.ca.
TRANSFER OF A MEDICAL QUALIFICATION BACK TO THE U.S.
In general, foreign trained doctors will need to complete their residency in the US and you will take a different board exam for students who have attended a foreign medical school.
