Handsome88 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have a friend who's already an ENT from Europe who would like to apply to Canada (for fellowships and/or residency). Wrote the board exams, has research under belt, masters, few years of experience. Is it possible for him to get a position? Looking back at last year's match, no IMGs mached to ENT...

NLengr Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 If he is licensed in another country as an ENT he should contact a provincial college about getting a Canadian lisence. He may not need to repeat a fellowship or residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviathan Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I think he needs to talk to the royal college about it but I think the UK is one of the countries that the college will at least consider recognizing for training. That just means they might consider it, but even if they did he might still have to write board exams, work under supervision etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't know the UK system well, but isn't a registrar the equivalent of our senior resident. And the house officers the equivalent of our junior residents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcard Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I don't know the UK system well, but isn't a registrar the equivalent of our senior resident. And the house officers the equivalent of our junior residents? That's correct. I don't know about ENT, but I know of a few Orthopedic senior registrars who got fellowships in Canada - Vancouver and TO, specifically. As far as moving here to practice permanently, I don't think it should be particularly hard. Your ENT friend will probably be able to get a provisional license with a particular province and then go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
