We need a national licensing system for Canadian doctors

needed for physicians to work in the four Atlantic provinces. The Atlantic Physician Register will be in place as of May 1.will be able to work in that province without first completing all the onerous paperwork.Why can’t the 13 provincial and territorial premiers agree to implement pan-Canadian licensure of physicians and other health care professionals?

Finally, doctors must be licensed within their province, for example by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. This process requires a lot of documentation and costs $1,725, a fee that is paid annually.The problem is that if a physician wants to practise in another province or territory, even for a short period or to fill in for a colleague during vacations, they have to register with the provincial regulator.

Those who are harmed the most by this red tape are patients, especially in rural and remote parts of the country. But it’s hard to move around the country if, each time you want to check out a new province, you have to do months of paperwork and spend thousands of dollars.
