MOTION PREVAILED
Canadian Reciprocity Discussion
Gaedeke explained that legislation passed recently, allowing for Canadian licensees to apply by
endorsement, provided that their examination is equivalent. She stated that the Department
would be asking the Board to vote on a resolution, stating that the Board adopts the Canadian
examination as equivalent to the USMLE. She stated that the resolution would be temporary,
until a revised draft of the Medicine – General Rules could be promulgated. Gaedeke stated
that a special meeting of the Full Board would need to be scheduled to do this, prior to the next
regularly scheduled on July 21, 2021.
