Qualified medical grads are not matching to residency programs and cannot become practicing doctors. We need Spots Today for Doctors Tomorrow. #nowasteddoctors

Too true - it's the system that makes excellent, qualified Canadian Medical Graduates go unmatched. It's not too late to change policy for the better and create long term sustainable solutions by increasing the number of residency spots nationwide. xitter.cf/Spots4Docs/status/9891…

I was happy to sign the #Spots4Docs campaign pledge this morning at their #QueensPark rally. Our govt is increasing the number of residency positions in Ont for medical students to complete their training to become doctors. @OnPoli @Spots4Docs

Pleased to speak at the @Spots4Docs rally to support Ontario's next generations of physicians. Today I asked the Minister of Health @HelenaJaczek to work on a long-term solution by implementing the suggestions in my PMB, The Careers in Medicine Advisory Committee Act 2018. – at Toronto, Ontario
