Osteopathic medicine in Canada refers to osteopathic physicians educated in the United States, receiving the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, who practise osteopathic medicine in Canada. Though licensure requirements for physicians varies by province in Canada, osteopathic physicians are generally able to obtain a license to practise medicine throughout the country. The Canadian Osteopathic Association is the largest association of osteopathic physicians in Canada.
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) are educated in the United States and should not be confused with non-physician osteopaths. Currently, there are no colleges of osteopathic medicine in Canada. Only graduates of U.S. Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine are eligible for licensure to practise Osteopathic Medicine in Canada. US-trained DOs may practise in Canada as fully licensed physicians. The authority for licensure of American osteopathic graduates lies with the provincial Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons.

Famous quotes containing the words medicine and/or canada:
“We gave ‘em wings to fly and they rained death on us. We gave ‘em a voice to be heard around the world and they preach hatred to poison the minds of nations. Even the medicine we gave them to ease their pain is turned into a vice to enslave half mankind for the profit of a few. Ah, Janet, dear, don’t you see? Every gift that science has given them has been twisted into a thing of hate and greed.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
“Canadians look down on the United States and consider it Hell. They are right to do so. Canada is to the United States what, in Dante’s scheme, Limbo is to Hell.”
—Irving Layton (b. 1912)
