Regulations

Registration and Licensing

NOTE: Applicants for full licensure on the Medical Register require the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada ("LMCC") and a "period of satisfactory pre-registration training". Applicants without the LMCC may be registered on the Regulated Licenses Register (see section 4 below) or with a Public Service License (see Regulation #6).

1. For all purposes under the Act, and Regulations, an applicant for registration shall be deemed to have undertaken "satisfactory pre-registration training" if the applicant is:
   
   
   1. Certified in Family Practice by the College of Family Physicians of Canada;
      
      
   2. Certified in Family Practice by the Collège des médecins du Québec;
      
      
   3. Certified in a specialty by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada;
      
      
   4. Certified in a specialty by the Collège des médecins du Québec; or
      
      
   5. Not certified in any of the above manners, but has successfully completed an acceptable internship of not less than two years which, in the opinion of the College, will have adequately prepared the applicant for independent practice in the setting and circumstances intended. This requirement may be abridged at the discretion of the College.
      
      
2. Notwithstanding Section (1), applicants for registration who have graduated and obtained their medical degree prior to January 1, 1993 may be deemed to have "satisfactory pre-registration training" if they have successfully completed an acceptable internship of not less than 12 months which, in the opinion of the College, will have adequately prepared them for independent practice in the setting and circumstances intended.
   
   
   
3. For purposes of section 1(e) and section 2, an "acceptable internship" shall, except in exceptional circumstances as judged by the College, be undertaken in a program approved by the Accreditation Committee of the Federation of Medical Licensing Authorities of Canada or the Accreditation Council for Graduates in Medical Education of the United States.
   
   
   
4. Applicants not otherwise eligible for registration under Section 25 of the Act may be registered, or registered as a Locum tenens, in the Regulated Licenses Register under Section 28.1 if:

 

1. the applicant is eligible for unrestricted licensure with the Collège des médecins du Québec; or
   
   
2. the applicant is eligible for licensure with a Medical Regulatory Authority in the United States and for whom there is a demonstrated need in New Brunswick as judged by the College; or
   
   
3. the applicant is certified in a specialty by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada; or
   
   
4. the applicant is certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada; or
   
   
5. the applicant has been registered and licensed on the Regulated Licenses Register under the previous By-law; or is otherwise, at the sole discretion of Council, deemed eligible for registration; or
   
   
6. the applicant has completed a program of satisfactory pre-registration training, has successfully completed Part I of the Qualifying Examination of the Medical Council of Canada, and is eligible to take Part II of the Qualifying Examination of the Medical Council of Canada. Such registration shall terminate one year from the date of eligibility unless special permission is granted by the College.

 

       5.   Applicants may be licensed, but not as locum tenens, under the Regulated

             Licenses Register for the occasional practice of medicine in New Brunswick

             under Section 28.1 for the "Border Area License" if they are licensed, in good

             standing, and resident in Quebec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or Maine.

      5.1  Applicants may be licensed, under the Regulated Licenses Register to provide

             bona fide consulting services for a hospital, commission, institution, or similar

             agency with a "Courtesy Liense" if they are licensed, and in good standing, in

             another jurisdiction acceptable to Council.

   

      6.  The above provisions apply, with all necessary changes, to registration and

           license on the Osteopatic Register.
