Educational support to help physicians prepare for Clinical Assistant roles and Canadian clinical practice environments.
A Clinical Assistantship is a supervised clinical role that allows internationally trained physicians to work within the Canadian healthcare system under a licensed physician.
Clinical Assistants support patient care while gaining exposure to Canadian workflows, documentation standards, and team-based practice. These are not independent practice positions and do not replace residency or licensure pathways.
