Medical students and young doctors are struggling to find opportunities within Canada's health-care system as one doctor explains the country's lack of medical training and resources are to blame.
, 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.
