ReEntry

The ReEntry program allows limited numbers of Canadian graduates to re-enter the postgraduate system in order to further their training. Graduates from the ReEntry program provide service in underserviced areas of the province for a designated time following completion of their training.

Repatriation

The Repatriation program offers additional years of training for Canadian graduates who have completed their U.S. postgraduate training and require additional training to meet Canadian certification requirements.

International Medical Graduates

In Ontario, an International Medical Graduate (IMG) is an individual who received their medical degree from a medical school not accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) or the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).
