, there were 93,998 physicians that were working in Canada for 2021, a slight increase of two per cent in comparison to 2020 when 92,166 physicians were reported. This represents roughly 246 physicians per population of 100,000.
Once medical students complete their undergraduate studies, they will then need to complete postgraduate medical training or a "residency" within a medical institution to gain hands-on experience in their field, Leddin explains. However, in Canada many students are struggling to find residency opportunities which is why many look outside of the country to complete their training.
A government monopoly never works (in this case health care). It only create shortages and high costs.
In health care, Western Europe is doing much better than Canada. They have a public health care system like Canada but allow private companies to compete against it. Gives patients a choice and keeps the health care system efficient and responsive to patients needs.
Coimpared to Germany, Canada has many times more health care bureaucrats, on a per capita basis. Health care money is feeding a growing health care bueaucracy.
This has been going on for years. Open up more seats in medical schools and residencies. Eliminate spaces for international students at medical schools and residencies.
Ah yes! People that know that being a doctors is more than reading a drug chart supplied by big pharma! People that know to be a doctor, you have to actually listen to your patient! people that know what a cold is!
It's no longer a great place to live.
When you undermine your economy you no longer have the tax base to properly fund your public services. Except for MPs. They get raises. Even for failure, of course. Venezuela is right there. Look.
Good ridance...
Read an article last week that a staggering 40% of medical students in Scotland are Canadian!! And know what else? Most won't become doctors in Canada, Is price and too many international students in Canadian Universities to blame?
Here’s a novel idea, why not look at the reason why we don’t have enough trained staff and find out who is responsible for it and replace these people
Youngsters with half a brain would be wise to get the hell out of Canada. Not too much to be proud of anymore.
Swamp media not blaming swamp on problem caused by swamp.
Yet we send all our money to our globalist projects.
People say put more money into the system to pay higher salaries and keep doctors. Those doctors become more wealthy and are then criticized by those same people as rich so are taxed more….
The problem is over regulation.
Because of the ongoing crisis, Canadian medical schools should be closed to foreign students, and should be free for all Canadians regardless of race or sex.
Allowed all vaccine free medical personal back to WORK !
Yeah cause most of them left to the US because of this stupid country. Canada keeps on shooting itself in the foot.
TrudeauWasRight
So everyone is clear, this isn’t all on Ford, successive Governments including Ford and a complete reliance on a government funded system have put us where we are.
I know that many will not agree with me, but I believe that public health and education should be federally managed.
Was in the states recently and saw ads offering $25k signing bonuses to nurses. I don’t blame them for leaving.
Nah, they are scared of dying suddenly.
Bloody horrible We are reaping bad decisions made years ago to control numbers of training positions not thinking about population growth and age groups Allowing organizations tomake rules to control numbers and where trained adriandix Adam_Stirling
Dear welcome to 1980
It's the money liars...USA pays more. That's why we have a psychiatric professionals problem as well.
last week I had a doctor, ask me, a patient, if I knew any doctors that wanted a job in a clinic...I'm looking for a doctor myself !!
Incorrect. They actually want to uphold their oath and be doctors. Not just follow a govt script/ narrative in fear of getting the license taken away.
LOL, good luck to them, most have been forced injected with the clot shots, so, their short careers are going to be over before they begin...80+ dead in the past 11 months?
Many leave because they want specialty residence programs. Many spots remain unfilled in Family Medicine. We need to do a better job of not minimizing the importance that a Family doctor plays in healthcare.
Even Dr's can see the system is broken yet people including md's keep stating just need more money , or the other political party is to blame .. for 40years of systemic degradation? Really .. political discourse is rotten in Canada and partisanship is destroying us internally .
Sorry docs. We need plumbers electricians and carpenters for our property developers. Stand in line. As Ford says. If you don’t like it - quit.
Thanks conservatives. Mission accomplished. But either cripple the public health system OR dismantle MAiD: doing both at the same time is profoundly, unforgivably evil.
a sure sign of a Country not broken... lol
You can thank our liberal clowns
admits Pfizer causes blood clots ‼️
Canada would be a good place to finish out a career but to stay here and put up with all the government red tape, better off so many other places
And we should not blame them one little bit. Sad when your own country can’t retain or entice doctor. We are going backwards when we can’t keep our professionals and can only import substandard immigrants from 3rd word countries 😤😤😤😤
This is who you guys have on to talk about health care anything? Thank Christ nobody watches ctv. Even the folks on the panel are kinda looking at each other like “what’s jabba doing here?”
We have a 2nd world healthcare system that we pay 1st world taxes for, but we are gaslit by MSM and all politicians that a “US style” system is our only alternative. The EU has many variations that could work here, but Canadians would rather die on a waiting list instead
All young people should look outside of Canada.
Out of 28 countries with Universal Healthcare, Canada spends the 2nd most and ranks 26th in services. This is what you call corruption and most Canadians will still try and tell you their system is great cause it’s free. Well, it ain’t free but nice try lol.
I don't see how 406 people per doctor is a problem. That doesn't seem like a shortage to me.
This country is off the rails
They don't want to be muzzled in Canada.
Sounds to me the biggest stumbling block us desire if you want it to happen it will take selfless energy tax dollars and getting off their asses.
Socialized anything will eventually fail.
I would attribute it to the fact most doctors don't want to be a part of our broken health care system that expels doctors who try to exempt their patients.
Its true, we will not have any doctors soon
So a public healthcare system doesn’t attract doctors as it’s been this way for years.
Didn't BC just ask them to leave
What other democratic country freezes the bank accounts of its citizens. I sure that move attacked a lot of investment to Canada. RachelNotley ABDanielleSmith JustinTrudeau cafreeland JonathanWNV fordnation PremierScottMoe cafreeland
I don’t blame them when some of them can’t give informed consent in this freaking country!
Or just hire back the extorted and then some.
And somebody was saying Canada is not broken?🙄🤡 ClownMedia
tired of reading headlines like this every single day
Thanks fordnation
To the young doctors…please stay in Canada your Appreciated and I for one will fight for the resources you need. Come on guys get your voices out there and elect who will give us our constitutional right.
So many got fired, and many are not allowed to speak up. YOU, media, have blood on your hands. You supported this sick narrative that JT is still holding onto.
Good, I hope all able-bodied Dr's leave Ontario. fordnation treats them like crap. Doug ford can't force you to work.
My friend's son was making roughly 120K as a family physician here, he's a recent grad. Left for the US and is now making 300K US.
Billions to Pfizer. Doctors zero. All you need to know about this corrupt as hell government and media in this country.
Government is failing the medical system so horribly, that it almost seem purposeful..
