Welcome
One Physician, One Identifier, For a Lifetime
Within Canada’s multi-faceted medical system, the accurate and reliable identification of individual physicians is a growing challenge. That’s why the Medical Identification Number for Canada (MINC) was created by MINC#NIMC.
MINC is a unique, lifetime identifier for every individual who enters the Canadian medical education or practice system.
MINC is a valuable tool for any organization that maintains a physician database. With MINC, a Licensed User can be sure that every physician is accurately identified in their own database – and in the databases of every other Licensed User with whom they share or compare data.
