I bet this question has been asked several times.
I am considering the DO program in the US and was wondering if I would be able to come back to Canada afterwards (I am a Canadian citizen and am doing my undergrad in Canada).
If so, what is the process to come back?
Could someone please provide me with more information.

Thanks.

Just go look around, but it's a start - looks like if you want to return to some parts of Canada, you really can't even practice, so you need to see about that.

Currently, if you get a DO degree, do an ACGME residency, pass the COMLEX, you can seek full practice rights in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. I am not sure about a DO getting a residency in Canada; probably you can in Ontario right now. Things may change in the future.
