    Fantastic advocacy by Practice Committee lead on National Licensure with . Our current licensing system is no longer serving the interests of patients or physicians. We can do better.

    Absolutely. I’m in the process of obtaining a license for Nunavut for a locum to cover vacation. I can see the same patients in Ottawa but require a mountain of paperwork to provide care in Iqaluit.

    The role of the licencing bodies is to protect the public. Everyone agrees. But upholding standards doesn't differ between BC or ON or NS or NU.

    If a resident wishes to advance training in another centre, even for 2 weeks, required to go through extensive application process and $$$. Even if licence for home province in good standing. It's craziness.

    My wife is dealing with this right now. She's working in Ontario but the process of getting her license in BC will take at least 9-10 months. It's extremely bureaucratic and tedious for no apparent reason.

    Thanks for another good example; I am sure there are many. Canadians need to overcome this sense that their constitution is immutable.

    Happy to be the poster-boy for national licensure of physicians. Barriers to physician mobility = barriers to patient care, esp in underserved areas. Kudos to for writing on this, and the whole team pushing this forward.

    “The current fragmented system doesn’t just create annoyance for physicians, it creates real barriers to patient care” ~ Mike Benusic So again, why isn’t there a single Canadian medical licence for physicians?

    2/2 There is a broader issue here: Perhaps no country has a constitution that is such a barrier to national collaboration and the lack of political will to change it -- what other developed countries have internal trade barriers?

    1/2 Canada should follow the lead of the USA in making it easier for doctors to be licensed in multiple states:

    or for engineers, geologists, physiotherapists, etc. etc. etc. It's absolutely maddening and the only ones to benefit from this archaic system are the professional licensing organizations, not the clients / customers / patients.
