title: After rejection in Canada, more Canadians pursuing career dreams at offshore medical schools.
abstract: Being denied admission to medical schools here isn't necessarily the end of the line for would-be Canadian doctors. The number of Canadians applying to medical schools in the Caribbean and Mexico is increasing, and graduates of some of them are winning respectable postgraduate training spots in the US, United Kingdom and even Canada. Milan Korcok looks at the calibre of these offshore medical schools and the impact they are having on training and accreditation in North America.
