IMGs as PAs in Ontario
The Windsor Star published an article on July 9 about PAs in Ontario. Both are foreign-trained medical graduates from Pakistan.
An Ontario government strategy to boost the province's health care resources has helped Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital attract two foreign-trained medical graduates who have taken on a unique role in patient care.
Shehla Ahmed and Rubeena Zafar are Hotel-Dieu's first physician assistants, a new kind of health professional being introduced to the health care system through a two-year pilot project taking place in selected hospitals, community health centres and long-term-care homes.
