UPPER CANADA COLLEGE (UCC) grads who become Medical Doctors.
UCC costs about $50,000/year after tax. There are many scholarships and bursaries for families who can not pay normal fees for bright boys.
UCC publishes "OLD TIMES" (56 pp) which lists on 16 large pages what UCC grads are doing. 10 MDs are listed from 1962 to present. About 150 graduate yearly.
SIX remained in Canada
THREE practice in USA
ONE in London,UK
TWO GPs, One GP is also a financial planner
ONE INTERNIST
TWO NEUROLOGISTS
ONE OBS/GYNAE
ONE ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON
ONE OSTEOPATH (Private practice)
ONE CLINICAL RESEARCH
ONE UROLOGIST
Few OHIP-paid Doctors could afford UCC fees without a family trust,private income or a wealthy wife.
Most grads go into financially rewarding accountancy, banking, business, insurance, private equity and law.
Medicine in Ontario does not reward creative thinking or experience. OHIP pays the same for a new grad and a MD with many practice years. Also the Left-wing Ont.College of Physicians & Surgeons (CPSO) is a danger to a career.
