Good Evening,
My name is Alex, I'm 26 years old, I'm a Canadian Citizen, and an International Medical Graduate (Went to Medical School Abroad). Furthermore, I haven't started or completed a Residency yet, I only finished Medical School with an A-.
I'm interested in applying to the Canadian Forces for the Medical Officer Profession but, I have a series of questions:
1. I am currently in the process of getting my Medical Credentials approved by the Medical Council of Canada (MCC). In Canada, before an International Medical Graduate (IMG) can apply for a Residency Spot at any Canadian University, the MCC requires two exams to be writen.
Is this also a requirement for the Canadian Forces in order to apply for Medical Officer? if not, what would be the process for a Canadian Citizen with a non-Canadian Medical Degree who wants to apply for Medical Officer?
2. Let's say I'm not able to apply now, since I have a non-Canadian Medical Degree, if I were to be accepted into a Canadian University for a Residency spot, and after completing the Basic Officer Training, will I then be able to apply for Medical Officer?
3. What are the standards or requirements to be considered for Medical Officer after completing the Basic Oficer training? Is the selection process made during the Training or are there other requirements other?
4. How many people on average apply for Medical Officer? How many get accepted? In which Institution is the Medical Officer training offered?
5. It is 14 weeks of Basic Officer Qualification Course? If I don't get accepted into the program of my choice, then what happens after?
Sorry if I'm a little off with the questions and the information, any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you very much for your time and help
Best regards,
Alex
