| IMG Routes to Licensure in Québec |
|
Introduction
Excerpted and adapted from the Collège des
médecins du Québec
Physicians who have a diploma of Doctor of Medicine awarded by a faculty of medicine
outside Canada and the United States (DHCEU) may practice medicine in Québec by one of
three approaches:
(1) Applying for Recognition of Equivalence of Doctor in
Medicine Diplomas and Postdoctoral Training, or
(2) Obtaining a Restrictive Permit, or
(3) Graduating from faculties of medicine (in Québec, Canada or the United States).
Contact medical schools directly for information regarding admission.
For a schedule of CMQ
information sessions regarding options for IMGs, see the CMQ web site.
