AFAIK, you can go to medical school, but the problem is what happens afterwards. Each province regulates how many graduates get assigned to hospitals (or allowed to open family doctor practices). If the openings "aren't there", you just wasted your time going to school, or you move somewhere that will accept you.
- nradov 4y agoThe issue is similar in the US. Every year we have some students who graduate from accredited medical schools but are unable to practice due to a shortage of residency program slots. Residencies are almost all funded by the federal government through the Medicare program and Congress hasn't significantly increased funding for years. It's an absurd situation given the current shortage.
