moonlighting during FM residency

Depends what you mean by moonlighting.

 

If you mean by working as a family doc in an outpatient setting, it's now getting to be impossible in many provinces because the provincial Colleges want you to have your CCFP before you can moonlight (in BC, anyway, you have to. Not sure about other provinces). It used to be that you can get a general license after 1 year of training but not anymore in BC.

 

If you mean moonlighting in the ICU, wards, etc it may be possible but probably very difficult as it's mostly senior residents in medicine, surgery, etc. who get hired because they've done their three or six months of ICU. As a FM resident, you're a junior resident on every off service rotation so you definitely would not be able to moonlight in the ICU.

 

Besides, you're out in two years. I'd just wait.
