Join us on September 22 for a discussion of the MOSAIC report’s findings and their implications for strengthening the integration of International Medical Graduates in Canada.
Canada’s International Medical Graduates (IMG) system is a fragmented and inequitable framework that governs the integration of internationally trained physicians into the country’s medical workforce. Though presented as meritocratic, IMG licensure and training systems often perpetuate systemic exclusion, especially for immigrant IMGs. The MOSAIC report (2023) offers one of the most comprehensive community-led investigations into these patterns, combining policy analysis with testimonies from affected individuals and stakeholder organizations. This session will discuss the report’s main findings and show how they build the case for using disaggregated data to address the systemic challenges faced by IMGs in Canada.
