Canada is a global leader in medical education. Integral to our system are the high standards that the Royal College maintains for residency training.
The Royal College engages in collaborative and often altruistic international activities as a good global citizen. We contribute to international conferences, host delegations and offer assistance when organizations from abroad approach us in an effort to improve their systems of residency medical education.
Formalizing our approach
To respond to an increasing number of international requests, the Royal College has formed a new division: Royal College Canada International (RCCI). RCCI offers the Royal College’s services to international organizations on a cost-recovery basis.
Benefits from international activities include:
professional development opportunities for Fellows who volunteer for interesting international projects
feedback from partners about our standards, which helps keep the Royal College at the forefront of medical education and continuing professional development
supplemental revenues to support domestic programs and other altruistic pursuits of the Royal College
