British Columbia sees surge in U.S. health worker applications, responds with licensing ease.

British Columbia has received nearly 780 job applications from U.S. health professionals in just two months, with over 2,250 expressing interest since March. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. has implemented changes allowing U.S.-trained doctors to become fully licensed without additional assessment if they hold specific American certifications. The province is also considering further changes to ease the process for internationally trained physicians.
