Global University Systems Canada (GUS Canada) has called for more residency seats for internationally-trained medical students to address the need for doctors in Canada. GUS Canada argues that internationally-trained medical students have a limited number of residency seats available to them when they return to Canada. To address this, GUS Canada urges the provinces to open more residency placements for International Medical School Graduates so that students of these programs can integrate into the Canadian healthcare system and help alleviate the doctor shortage. “Having enough available residency spots is the first step to get them to return and stay home,” said GUS Canada, SABA University School of Medicine CEO Cyndi McLeod.
