To Attendings

Members do not see this ad.

Does anyone know if you complete residency in Canada can you practice in the US or where I could find the answer to this question?

Why would attendings (and only attendings) know the answer to that question?

Why would attendings (and only attendings) know the answer to that question?

So the rest of us can post "Well, I know the answer to that question, because everybody on the board knows the answer to that question except you, but I guess we can't help you because we're not attendings yet." 😉

Guess we'll just have to wait until an attending pipes in.

If nobody on here knows, you might want to try asking on the Canada sub-forum: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=89

This is an interesting question and I hope you're able to get an answer for it.

Of course not--as anyone knows, the attending's role is to get the med students to look things up for themselves.

I'm beginning to feel like a very ignorant attending for not knowing enough about Canada..

Well I've heard it's a large country somewhere north of here...

I think this guy might want to help us average Americans understand Canada better. 😀
