Описание: In this video, you will join a breakout session for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) facilitated by Dr. Filipe Santos, MD, PhD, MScCH, FRCPC, a Brazilian-Canadian anesthesiologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. Drawing on his own journey as an internationally trained physician, Dr. Santos shares practical insights on navigating exams, residency, and licensure in Canada, and speaks candidly about the challenges and opportunities IMGs face in the Canadian healthcare system.

During this session, participants discuss real-life questions about building clinical experience, strengthening CaRMS applications, finding mentors, and managing the emotional side of the transition to practice in a new country.
