The CPSO has suggested changes to registration policies intended to encourage more U.S. physicians to practise in Canada.

The changes would enable physicians who are board-certified in the U.S. to begin practising in Ontario immediately.

A recent Ontario announcement is long overdue and great news for Ontario patients!

The government plans to introduce legislative changes to automatically recognize the credentials of healthcare workers registered in other provinces and territories.

Following the rules is important, but sometimes sidestepping the rules is welcome - as is the case with the recent collaboration between @OntarioHealthOH and the @collegeofnurses.

It's no secret that there is a staffing shortage plaguing the Canadian medical system.

The @Royal_College is working to alleviate some of this strain by making it easier for foreign-trained specialists to practice in Canada.

Canada’s once-vaunted medicare is on life support. And it will only get worse.

In my recent @lawyersdailyca article, I outline why it's time for Canada to go "Dutch" with our health care.

Canada’s current model for providing health care is unsustainable and is only going to get worse.

In my recent blog, I outline why Canada should look abroad for a solution, specifically to the Netherlands.
