The Medical Council of Canada was the dream of Sir Thomas Roddick, who pursued his vision of a national medical licensing standard within Canada, through legislation, for over 18 years. His persistence in passing a bill through Parliament known as the Canada Medical Act, followed by amendments that gave the provinces the power to grant licenses, resulted in the formation of the Medical Council of Canada in 1912. Since then, the Medical Council has been responsible for promoting a uniform standard of qualifiation to practice medicine for all physicians across Canada. The qualifitcation, known as the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC), remains acceptable to provincial medical regulatory authorities. This ensures portability across the nation, while continuing to guarantee that each province and territory maintains the right to grant the license to practice medicine. 1, record 1, English, - The%20Medical%20Council%20of%20Canada

Le Conseil médical du Canada était le rêve de Sir Thomas Roddick, qui, pendant plus de dix-huit ans, s'est efforcé d'atteindre sa vision, soit une norme nationale de compétence en médecine, en faisant adopter une loi. Son insistance auprès du Parlement afin de faire adopter un projet de loi connu sous le nom de Loi médicale du Canada, lequel a par la suite fait l'objet d'amendements donnant aux provinces le pouvoir d'émettre des permis, a donné lieu à la constitution du Conseil médical du Canada en 1912. Depuis, le Conseil médical est chargé de promouvoir un degré uniforme de compétence permettant d'exercer la médecine, et ce, pour tous les médecins du Canada. Ce degré de compétence, connu sous le nom de «Licencié du Conseil médical du Canada» (LCMC), reçoit encore l'acceptation des ordres des médecins provinciaux. Il garantit la transférabilité dans tout le pays, tout en assurant le droit de chaque province et territoire d'émettre le permis d'exercice de la médecine. 1, record 1, French, - Le%20Conseil%20m%C3%A9dical%20du%20Canada
