Restricted DVMs and the road to Canadian licensing

At our organization, we celebrate the diverse backgrounds and experiences of all our team members. This is 1 of 3 articles highlighting our spotlight on our Restricted DVMs, veterinarians who have been practicing outside of Canada and now on the path to becoming licensed here. Many of these dedicated professionals are esteemed veterinarians in their home countries. Their journey to Canadian licensing is both inspiring and essential to the excellent patient care we provide.

“There is sometimes a stigma associated with restricted doctors from regions of the world where medical practices and standards may differ from Canada. However, individuals who undertake the NEB process show incredible determination, resilience and hard work, that inevitably makes them incredible doctors. Our goal is to give them the opportunity to develop and excel in their profession. We make sure our clinics are prepared and ready to effectively mentor these doctors. The beauty of hiring a restricted DVM is that together we can shape and develop their skills to successfully integrate with our clinics’ standards and culture, and ultimately enhancing our teams.” – Serena Nashed, Global Mobility Specialist
