'I've had good doctors, who are accredited nationally and licensed in another province, express an interest in working at my clinic and they just give up on the process.'
Provincial licensing and regulatory procedures are dissuading family doctors from coming to B.C., according to a family doctor who directs a medical clinic in Vancouver.
All family doctors trained at one of Canada’s 17 medical schools must be accredited by the Canadian College of Family Physicians , which ensures a competent level of professional care can be met. Following accreditation, a family doctor must be licensed by a provincial regulator. Eventually, the college changed its tune, as Jando and the doctor argued the Alberta clinic was akin to offering longitudinal care, which in simple terms is seeing one patient for medical issues over an extended period of time.
The association called the provincial licensing system one that can be “complicated, time-consuming, and costly.” National licensure is also supported by Doctors of BC president Dr. Joshua Greggain, who is confident the vast majority of his members also agree. B.C. health minister not following Ontario's lead “It’s not legislation you need. It’s actual significant reform together and breaking down barriers for people wherever they come from,” said Dix, noting reforms he’s made to improve accreditation processes for internationally trained doctors in B.C.
