The Medical License Bridging Program for International Medical Doctors provides training in medical communication, healthcare culture, familiarity with Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and Observership -based clinical work experience. This focused training supports the IMDs in passing the registration exams and obtaining residency positions as a result of:

- Targeted residency submission support
- Familiarity with Canadian medical practice.

The two-year Bridging Program will assist 130 IMDs throughout Eastern Ontario from July 2008 through March 2010 in seven separate cohorts. More than 120 hours are dedicated to workshops and Observerships. The workshops are conducted in Ottawa and the Observerships take place in health care facilities throughout Eastern Ontario. OSCE training and practice testing is conducted in partnership with the University of Ottawa Medical School.
