As Canadians, if we do not intend to return to Canada, can we apply for AOA certified residencies? Are there any osteopathic residency programs that currently sponsor visas to Canadian students? With the growing number of Canadian osteopathic medical students in the United states, I would hope that the AOA acknowledges the need to sponsor visas for Canadian students. If someone could share some insight on this topic, it would be greatly appreciated! There may even be potential to start a dialogue with the AOA, especially in light of recent changes in our own country with Canadian DO's being treated as IMG's when applying for Canadian residencies.
