Doctors Today and Tomorrow: Planning British Columbia’s Physician Workforce
Doctors of BC Position: Physician workforce planning is key to meeting the evolving health needs of the BC population. Doctors of BC recommends establishing a multi-stakeholder committee including Doctors of BC, the Ministry of Health, and health authorities to better coordinate the development of physician resource plans and identify short and long term physician resource priorities. Workforce planning needs to be supported by a provincial framework for needs-based physician resource planning and a physician workforce database to provide a baseline for future planning.
