Interview: Interesting MD Podcast (hosted by Rod Beck) — Key Differences in Health Law for Physicians Moving from the U.S. to Canada
In this in-depth conversation on the Interesting MD Podcast, Brooke Shekter breaks down what physicians need to know about practising medicine in Canada’s publicly funded and highly regulated environment. She explains how college complaints work, how hospital privileges are governed, why documentation and procedural fairness matter, and what U.S.-trained physicians often find most surprising about the Canadian system. It’s a practical, candid discussion for anyone navigating (or considering) a medical career in Canada.
