Hey guys,
So I am a Canadian who is a 4th year medical student at an American School. I am applying to do Family Practice Residency back in Canada. I have already taken steps 1 and 2 and will eventually take step 3.
Since residency in Canada is only 2 years for Family (as opposed to 3 years in the States), would I be able to apply for a medical license in America in the future? This is the only residency program that is shorter in Canada, so I am not sure how this works. I know that if it were reversed (eg. doing residency in peds in the states and trying to practice in Canada) they have required residents to make up the extra year.
Any input would be great. I want to know if I have the option to work in the states in the future.
