This short #documentary highlights how the mechanism of #discrimination prevents foreign-trained #doctors from practicing in #Canada – even after they've received their #Canadian qualifications. Every year, scores of these doctors are turned down for the residencies they need in order to practice – and many of those residencies stay vacant. Through interviews with #medical professionals and #HumanRights advocates it becomes clear that #SystemicRacism is to blame. Strikingly, several doctors interviewed for this film would not speak on camera, fearing repercussions from the medical establishment. What is the real problem: the incompetence of foreign-trained doctors or the #injustice of the system?
