A groundbreaking research shedding light on the systemic barriers faced by International Medical Graduates (IMGs) in Canada
MOSAIC, funded by the WES Mariam Assefa Fund, has released a groundbreaking report, available below, shedding light on the systemic barriers faced by International Medical Graduates (IMGs) in Canada. Despite their qualifications and expertise, many IMGs encounter significant hurdles in accessing residency training and medical licensure. This comprehensive report uncovers discriminatory policies and practices, many of which lack transparency and are compounded by the lack of disaggregated, standardized data.
Below is a link to an article on Healthy Debates about the report as well.
