Dr. Alika Lafontaine MD caddosheriff Agree! Measures like this are welcome, but let’s not lose sight of the (very achievable) goal. There is no reason that a physician in Canada should need to hold multiple licenses to practice in Canada - we are one country.

Although the end goal should remains pan-Canadian licensure, @CPSO is taking an important step forward with some caveats as detailed below.

Front-end strings within the 2023 health transfers is why political momentum for this happened IMO.

Keep pushing for national licensure,…

This is so true.

Don’t talk yourself out of an opportunity you really want, you’d be surprised at what others think you’re capable of.

'Before, doctors had to file separate applications to each provincial college, which would take days'.

😀😀😀you mean *min 60-90 days* to process.

Today’s TU goes to people that are actually working for change. They don’t simply complain, post endlessly & put others down instead they work hard and offer solutions. Together we are stronger.

Dr. Alika Lafontaine MD Canadian Medical Association I'm just back from fellowship in Ottawa and loved it. An excellent, publicly funded health care service. Staff better valued and better paid. Very attractive workplace for NHS trained doctors.
