Dear all
My partner is a medical doctor (a graduate from Faculty of Medicine) and the NOC for that is 3112 as far as I see.
However, she has never practiced clinical medicine, i.e. in a hospital. Since her graduation, she has been working in pharmaceutical industry as a Senior Medical Manager/Medical Advisor. She has worked for big pharma companies. The job pre-requisites for these positions are always to be an MD in the country we currently reside...
When we browse the NOC site, according to her medical degree, she is classified as NOC 3112 "General practitioners and family physicians".
However, if we count his professional background (what she has done so far in pharma companies), she seems to be more fit in NOC 0125 "Other business services managers". Her job responsibilities in his contracts resembles / almost matches the "main duties" listed on http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/NOC/ProfileQuickSearch.aspx?val=0&val1=0125&ver=16. However, the example titles in NOC 0125 do not include health/pharma related positions, and we are confused.
As a note, although her job title (Senior Medical Manager) seems relevant in NOC 0311 "Managers in health care", that code is reserved for chiefs of medicine, etc. These are hospital-based positions and would not reflect what he does.
To recap:
Could you please advise us? Thank you.

To recap:
- 3112: Related to his education
- 0125: Related to his professional career
- 0311: Resemblance in job title only
Could you please advise us? Thank you.
