A research paper from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Canada in 2013 found that 16 percent of new specialist and subspecialist physicians said they cannot find work; with 31% having
to pursue further training to become more employable.
The solution in striking the right balance between supply and
demand lies in the development of a national health human
resources planning body; one that considers the availability of
practice resources as well as the health needs of the population.
For that reason, we will continue to collaborate with our provincial and national partners in government, medical education
and training, and specialty certification to ensure a system-wide
approach to physician registration.
We encourage members of the public to visit the College’s website,
where information can be accessed about each physician licensed
in Ontario.
