I was fortunate, in Edmonton, to be able to go to a centre—it was funded partially by the federal government—that had foreign-trained doctors. Some of them even had surgery experience, but for various reasons they weren't able to become licensed doctors here. However, through this program they were able to be trained as paramedics. And these people were grateful to be back in the health field, to be working directly with patients and helping out in Canadian society.
Are there other creative programs like this across the country?
