On average 80% of our Medicine Service students are offered an interview at a UK medical school.

Returning with your UK Medical Degree

SI-UK works with Medical experts such as Ranika, our IMG Career Counsellor, assisting Medicine graduates going through the residency and licensing process in Canada. As part of the Medicine Service, our students will get the opportunity to learn more about the process of returning to Canada with a UK Medical degree. 

Upon returning with their degree Ranika will assist UK Medical School graduates with registrations and exams, all the way until the student receives their licence to practice. 

 

Graduating from the University of Toronto, Ranika Singh has had nearly 20 years of experience in both domestic and international healthcare recruitment. She developed her expertise over an eleven-year career at an Ontario provincial government agency, an innovative healthcare recruitment initiative designed to help local and international medical graduates navigate their pathway to success in Canada. 

Since 2020, Ranika has been the driving force behind IMG Career Counselling, a career consultancy business that is solely dedicated to supporting IMGs and their unique career challenges.

Her influence extends beyond awards, as she has also been an active participant in a Canada-wide initiative with stakeholders including government and regulatory associations. This initiative was designed to propose recommendations to leverage IMGs to close healthcare labour market gaps in Canada.
