British Columbia - Physician Integration Program (BC-PIP)

BC-PIP Overview

The British Columbia Physician Integration Program (BC-PIP) aims to support the successful transition of practice-eligible international medical graduates (IMGs) from the provisional registry to full licensure to practice medicine in British Columbia (BC).

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC (CPSBC) requires all provisionally licensed IMGs who are new to practice in BC to complete the program within eight months of the date they obtain their registration with CPSBC.

Eligibility

There are no fees for the online modules.
