Resident Doctors of Canada (RDoC) is a national organization representing over 10,000 resident physicians across Canada. Established in 1972, RDoC advocates for its members’ interests and works to enhance healthcare delivery in the country. The organization includes Provincial Housestaff Organizations (PHOs) that provide regional representation and support.

RDoC engages in advocacy and policy development, collaborating with other health organizations to address national issues. It promotes responsible healthcare resource use through national guidelines developed with Choosing Wisely Canada. Additionally, RDoC supports the professional growth of resident physicians by focusing on patient-centered care and facilitating their transition to independent practice.
