Medical Council of Canada, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of family Physicians of Canada). Graduates are expected to be able to function responsibly, in a supervised clinical setting, at the level of an “undifferentiated" physician (see http://www.mcgill.ca/ugme/mdcm-curriculum-joint-programs ). Note: The M.D., C.M. graduate may apply for a license only to practice medicine in a supervised (postgraduate residency training program) setting, and not for independent practice.
