Ontario to launch foreign-trained doctor credential recognition program in 2023

By next spring, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) could introduce a three-month program to recognize foreign medical credentials in Ontario. This year, the self-governing body for Ontario’s medical professionals submitted a proposal to the province’s Ministry of Health, a 12-week program designed specifically for internationally trained physicians in Ontario. Practice Ready Assessment (PRA) programs in seven Canadian provinces help foreign-trained physicians who have previously finished their training and practiced overseas.
