Hi guys
Does anyone know someone who finished his/her FM residency here in Canada but ended up practising FM in US? Just got a question regarding the accreditation at ABFM from the quote on their website:
"(Canadian 2-yr FM graduates) may apply for ABFM certification upon the successful completion of a third year of accredited Family Medicine residency. The third year of training must be satisfactorily completed in an ACGME-accredited Family Medicine program or, if taken in Canada, must be approved by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The third year must have prior approval of the American Board of Family Medicine ... "

My question is, does R3 in Emerg (CCFP-EM) count as such a year? well it's approved by CCFP...
Thanks!
