I'm an Ontario resident who will be starting an IM residency in July in the US. I plan to get a J1 visa and for that I need a statement of need which requires an action plan.
From what I have found out on the internet, I need to provide a step by step game plan of how I will complete the requirements to becoming a fully licenced IM doctor in Canada, that includes approximate exam dates.
I have taken and passed Steps 1 and 2, and the MCCEE. I plan to take Step 3 after my first year of residency. I have no idea what date I will take the exam...should I have an idea? What other exams are needed?
What exactly are all the necessary requirements that should be included in an action plan? Maybe if I could have a glance at some sample action plans it would make it all clear to me. Right now I am very confused although I am sure that in reality it is not as complicated as I think it is.
I've been getting most of my info from the Health Canada and the CPSO websites.
Help me out if you can, I'd appreciate it.
