Canada has joined the United States which recently enacted the Tennessee law to allow foreign-trained doctors to bypass the residency training program Nigerian Doctors inclusive as the shortage of health workers in the country bites harder. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of. Nova Scotia one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada has created a short path to enable Nigeria and other foreign doctors to practice medicine in the country. This latest decision by the college underscores the importance of doctors in a society.

It could be recalled that many Nigerian doctors who migrated to Canada were hitherto unable to practice in Canada like their colleagues in the UK due to stringent licensing procedures and the nonrecognition of their fellowships. The situation has forced many Medical Consultants and licensed pharmacists from Nigeria into cab driving and other menial jobs while waiting to be certified.

According to a statement released by the College, the procedures and eligibility criteria are as follows:

Family Medicine Specialists

For internationally trained family medicine specialists, the Nova Scotia Practice Ready Assessment Program (NSPRAP) ensures that international medical graduates (IMGs) who wish to practice family medicine in Nova Scotia possess the appropriate clinical skills and knowledge to provide quality patient care.

The Nova Scotia Practice Ready Assessment Program (NSPRAP) is for family medicine specialists who:

have completed postgraduate training in family medicine outside Canada;

do not yet meet Nova Scotia’s licensing requirements; and meet the eligibility criteria for the PRA in Family Medicine.
