How many points can I claim?

[ThePediatrician]

Hello Forum!

I am planning to immigrate to Canada and was answering the self assessment exam.
I was wondering how many points can I claim under education,
I am a Bachelor of Sci. in Biology(4) and Bachelor of Sci. in Pharmacy(4) graduate then I finished my Medical Degree(4) afterwards. I had four years of residency then another four or so years for my specialization which is Pediatrics. I also am a diplomate (it means I took the board examination and now registered) in Family Medicine. In sum, I am can practice Pediatrics and Family Med the same time. I hope that makes sense.

Plus,
elemetary - (6)
highschool - (4)

any information is very much appreciated
thank you!

Thank you for the reply, but isn't any field of specialization on medicine a master's degree?

When you graduate from med school you are known as a general (family) physician but when you under go postgraduate studies i.e pediatrics or any field wouldn't that be a masters degree? I know there's an MD, PhD but aside from that the definition of a Masters Degree in medicine is vague.

anyone who encountered this before?
