With the emergence of the internet in mid 1990’s, CanAm’s founder, John Philpott was completing an engineering degree specializing in mechanical and petroleum engineering. During this same period Canada’s Federal Government introduced a 50% billing cap for all Family Practitioners across Canada. This new policy led to a significant reduction in urban practice opportunities for graduating Family Practitioners, including Philpott’s wife, thus creating the catalyst for the family to move to greener pastures in Ohio, USA. During their 4 years in the USA, Philpott founded CanAm Physician Recruiting, and through his vision of the power of the Internet directed his advanced technical training to produce an advanced interactive web base platform connecting Clients, Physicians and Recruiters from all over the world in real time. Now Canada’s leading international Physician recruitment firm, CanAm hosts a rapidly growing database of thousands of pre−screened astute and licensable physicians and a burgeoning online international Physician Job Board, all linked to CanAm’s 3 international websites that are at the pinnacle of World Wide Web search engines, including Google and Yahoo!
