Return of Service for IMGs


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I am looking at coming back to Canada for training. I would likely need to be on a ROS for an IMG spot. For anyone that is on one of these contracts I have a few questions:

 

1.) Do you have a time limit within which you must complete the ROS?

 

(I was thinking of fellowships overseas, or just work overseas in general after completing training and how an ROS could interfere with this if it specified a time limit.)

 

2.) Does a ROS prevent working in another province? (Again fellowships)

The CARMs website has links to several of the ROS agreements that you would have to sign.

I scanned through one and the way I read it, you must begin the ROS within 3 months of graduation or pay them back for the residency. I'm not sure how this effects fellowship opportunities. It may be best to call up the programs that you are interested in and ask them how flexible they are.
