    Just following on the OP's question out of curiosity, does the CF even recruit RCPSC emergency physicians?  And if they did, would they be in the general medical officer stream or specialist MO stream?  It's sounding like they'd be in the GMO stream and employed as such but I'd think some of...

    OPP Charges Former Canadian Forces Medical Officer with Practicing Medicine with

    Domestic Terrorism/Public Attacks on CAF Personnel

    I just wanted to note that with all the talk about immigration and certain types of immigrants being responsible for these issues earlier in this thread, that both of these incidents were caused by Canadians, born and bred, here in Canada... Let the xenophobia begin??  Whether we like it or...

    CIC TRAINING

    Out of curiousity, at what point does a CIC officer reach the OFP for their officer classification?  After the CIC occupational course I would assume?  Or is there a specific point?  Cheers.

    The "Nursing Officer" Merged Thread

    Hmm.. Does this end up being a consideration for NO's being posted to Quebec then?  I would think that if they can't get their Quebec license this would become an issue for NO's maintaining their clinical skills?

    Yeah I feel like we are one of the only militaries in the world that has this situation for MO's actually!  However, I'm assuming many of these MO's are still in the training pipeline and not at our clinics on base yet?
