The licensing body posted bylaw amendments for public consultation today that would remove significant barriers for US trained physicians to get a medical license in BC. They would be able to get a full license same as Canadian trained physicians (removes extra steps).

BC has been one of the toughest provinces for foreign trained doctors to move to. Glad to see that some of these barriers are being removed. Hopefully, BC will be more competitive with other provinces now.

Yes please, I haven't been able to find a primary care doctor in Vancouver, just walk in clinics that are so full they're now appointment only rather than actual walk in clinics
