Education Options - What are they?

[Veekay]

Hello,
I am a medical doctor. I landed in Canada 2mn back, living in Toronto. I would like to continue my education in Canada. I know continuing medical education in Canada is not easy. I am looking for other related courses like genetics, biochemistry, research. I need to get some information about the available options for me. I want to sit with somebody and discuss. Who is the right person for that?
