Section 503 Disposition versions

2006-01-01

503. The Government shall determine each year the number of positions for medical residents available in the post-doctoral medical training programs. This number includes

(1)  the general practice or family medicine training position;

(2)  the other training positions required for one or another of the specialties recognized by regulation under the Medical Act (chapter M‐9).

In order to foster what it considers a rational distribution of medical resources among the regions, the Government may each year authorize certain of the positions provided for in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph, on the condition that the trainees agree to sign an undertaking, which may contain a penal clause, to practise for a period not exceeding four years in the region or institution determined by the Minister. These positions cannot exceed 25% of the number of positions intended for new trainees among the total number of positions provided for in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph.

Where a position referred to in the second paragraph has not been filled, it automatically becomes a general practice or family medicine training position to which no undertaking to practise in a particular region or institution is attached.

The Government may also, if it deems it appropriate, authorize certain additional training positions in post-doctoral medical training programs intended for graduate students of a university or school situated outside Canada or the United States on the condition that the trainees agree to sign an undertaking, which may contain a penal clause, to practise for a period not exceeding four years in the region or institution determined by the Minister.

The number of the positions referred to in the second paragraph shall be determined after the Minister has consulted the Ordre professionnel des médecins du Québec, Québec universities having a faculty of medicine and the agencies of the regions where the trainees are to practise.
