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. For further information, check with Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates at: http://www.ecfmg.org/ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR GRADUATE ENTRY MEDICAL PROGRAMS Frequently asked questions can be found here.

CANADA AND SYDNEY MEDICAL SCHOOL University of Sydney's relations with Canada are a major feature of their medical program. Canadians are the most numerous international students studying in the program. In 2009, USYD had a total of 111 Canadians studying medicine. A WORD FROM A CURRENT GLOBALINKS LEARNING ABROAD STUDENT The Gold Coast has been very good for me! Honestly, if I could write down 10 things that I would want in a med school, Bond has 11. The program is absolutely fantastic and I loved the small-group, problem-based learning curriculum. My professors are very personable and always available to help. I have met the most wonderful friends and know how lucky I am to have done so. It is like a greener, happier version of Canada! B.
