anaelle23 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hello, I am strongly interested in DO schools in US. I have 2 major questions: 1) Can you tell me if I can come back to Canada after and apply for a residence with the same rights as canadian MD's owners for EVERY provinces ? I asked to the college of physicians and they said that when you come back from US OR France, you have the same rights to apply for a residence as for canadians; but she did not specify MD or DO. 2) Do you think it's 100% sure that I can come back from US with a DO degree and do a family medicine residency ? Thank you, Ana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advair250 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Not in every province. Some only take DO's as IMG's for residency, but Ontario the big one treats it like a Canadian MD for residency. It is not 100% to come back for residency, once you leave Canada. Its not a bad chance for Family med, but who knows not many DO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ok with USA, DO is the best bet after MD, then IMG Ana ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegame11 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hello, 2) Do you think it's 100% sure that I can come back from US with a DO degree and do a family medicine residency ? Nothing is guaranteed. If you pass everything, you are almost guaranteed a family med residency in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you go to the US you should be willing to do residency there. The advantage of the US is that you have a good shot of getting a residency not necessarily a Canadian one (as opposed to quite possibly no residency anywhere if you are IMG). Canada is not the be all and end all. There is a big world out there beyond our borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
