The immense majority of dentists are self-employed and the need to work with employers is not there, but there is a big need to work with the internationally trained dentists to be able to function on their own in the Canadian market,and that is something we haven't been very successful in doing.
We know Canadian dentists have some cultural sensitivity training to know how to deal with patients of different origins and be more efficient at that level, but as far as having national programs to support international dentists, not much is done.
Some local efforts are made. The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario has an ethics course that is mandatory for any new licensee. It is not necessarily focused on internationally trained dentists. It is for any new dentist who wants to practise in Ontario. That is required, and that might be helpful.
