Needs Assessment for Webinar on IMGs in British Columbia

UBC Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) is conducting a needs assessment to help shape an upcoming webinar on international medical graduates (IMGs) in BC. This webinar will bring together diverse perspectives to improve the experiences of IMGs in the health-care system. 

A recent national needs assessment carried out by the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) confirmed the prevalence of known IMG integration challenges and highlighted gaps in understanding and supporting IMG learning needs. To help us identify priority areas for educational development, we would like to know more about your experiences in the BC health-care system. 

Who can participate 

Physicians currently practicing (part-time or full-time) in British Columbia who completed their medical degree and postgraduate training outside of Canada

60-90-minute virtual focus group 

Participation involves completing a focus group with other IMG physicians facilitated by a member of the UBC CPD team. Questions will focus on your needs, challenges and strengths during your transition to practice across Canada. Participants will receive an honorarium of $352.36. 

Complete this survey to express interest in attending a focus group.

The survey will close on Jan. 7, 2026.
