Health P.E.I., McMaster University partner to fast-track international medical graduates [Video]

Health P.E.I. is collaborating with McMaster University in Ontario to help fast-track foreign-trained physicians to become licensed to work on the Island.

The province will pay for up to four seats in the university’s fellowship program, which will begin training doctors with international credentials this fall.

McMaster is offering a course that is split into 13 blocks, with each block lasting four weeks. One of the training blocks will take place here on P.E.I.

After the physician completes the program and is qualified to work, they are expected to practise in P.E.I. for at least a year.
