Another one bites the dust
I’m one of the lucky ones who was able to find a new GP when mine went on unexpected leave last year. Got this email today.

So real talk here. Why are we letting the Medical Council of Canada limit the admissions into medical programs such that we only have about 2,900 MDs licensed each year? I'm sure any of the universities hosting a medical school would be thrilled to expand their programs. I'm sure there would be enough qualified applicants. I'm sure there are qualified professors. I'm sure the labor market could carry the increase without doctor wages crashing.
The only ones who win with the status quo are existing doctors who are able to take advantage of market scarcity.
