Docforce
Canadian medical students are not effectively included in physician resource planning strategies. There is also a lack of available data and resources aimed at career orientation. This limits their ability to choose a discipline that reflects the needs of the population for healthcare workers.
The Docforce platform constitutes a national approach to physician resource planning informing medical students on the mix and distribution of physicians needed to meet the future healthcare demands of the Canadian population.
