The composition of the workforce is changing. Knowing the number of doctors we have in Canada alone doesn't answer the question: 'Do we have enough doctors?' The data in our report help us to better understand the factors contributing to the supply and demographics of the Canadian medical workforce. |
The new data reflect a continuation in the trend we have seen since the mid-1990s of a decreasing number of doctors leaving Canada for opportunities in other countries. |
We know that there are efforts to recruit physicians and that some regions are finding success. |
