According to a report published by the Royal Bank of Canada, Canada will be short of about 44,000 physicians by 2028, with the primary area of the deficit being that of family doctors. Keeping in mind the increase in population, burnout in the medical field and retirement age, medical colleges in Canada need to train another 30,000 physicians to maintain the average number of doctors per population.
This turns the spotlight and the responsibility onto the medical colleges in Canada for bridging this gap. Does it make Canada more welcoming of international students wanting to pursue medicine? Yes! Does it make the course any less competitive and watered down? Not a chance.
So, if you are considering pursuing your medical dreams abroad, (maybe even chasing down fantasies of Grey’s Anatomy) this article is meant for you. In this article, we will be looking at
Why choose Canadian medical universities as an international student?
For an international student, Canada is a preferred study destination to study any degree because of its affordable education system, relatively easier immigration policies and the general welcoming nature of the country towards immigrants. These features alone are sufficient for students to choose Canada over places in the U.S.A, U.K., or Australia. That said, why should you choose Canada as a prospective medical student? Let’s take a look.
How is a Canadian medical degree different?
What we commonly refer to as MBBS is called an MD in Canada. This is a distinction that you have to be clear with. An MD in Canada is the first step towards being a doctor. Any specialization or super-specialization comes after.
The second biggest difference is that you cannot apply for this course right after high school. Medical schools in Canada expect you to have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, typically in the sciences, biology, biochemistry, psychology or health before you can apply for an MD program. This is what is colloquially referred to as pre-med.
Extensive research and training:
The MD course in itself can last anywhere between 3-5 years, followed by a residency of 2-5 years, depending on your specialization. The emphasis of these courses are not only on health and treatment but also on research and development to put medicine in Canada in one of the top spots in the world. To give you some examples, the discovery of Insulin, the invention of the cardiac pacemaker and the introduction of telemedicine to reach remote communities can all be traced back to medicine schools in Canada.
Equal Opportunities:
Canada is the first country to adopt multiculturalism as one of its official policies. Discrimination based on race, colour, gender or sexuality is not as common an occurrence here, as in other countries. As an international student, you get the same opportunities as a citizen or a permanent resident.
Higher standards:
As a medical professional, you will be quite directly responsible for the health and well-being of other human beings. This is a responsibility that Canadian medical universities take extremely seriously. You are held to extremely high standards, from your pre-med scores, your MCAT, all the way till the final qualifying exam administered by the MCC (Medical Council of Canada). This is not only true in the case of academics but also in terms of patient sensitivity and the treatment of people from different walks of life.
Job Satisfaction:
Canada has a decentralized, universal, publicly funded health system called Canadian Medicare. It is funded and administered by the provinces. It is a system designed for the welfare of its people. For those of you looking to enter this field as a vocation, Canada offers high rates of job satisfaction.
What are the best medical universities in Canada for international students?
With its international standards and global recognition, Canada MBBS colleges are highly competitive. Out of the 17 medical universities (10 of which are listed here), only 5 of them can even be categorized as medical schools in Canada for international students. The rest of them restrict their admissions to citizens, permanent residents and refugees. Even those who admit international students have very few seats allocated to them.
Why do they do this, if there is a shortage of doctors?
The answer is simple. Demand and quality. The universities do not want to water down the quality of education by simply expanding admissions. Besides, almost all of these courses are supported by the respective provincial governments. Hence they prioritize their citizens and PRs over international students. That said, let’s take a look.
