A Missing Part of Me:” A Pan-Canadian Report on the Licensure of Internationally Educated Health Professionals."A Missing Part of Me:” A Pan-Canadian Report on the Licensure of Internationally Educated Health Professionals

N4 has recently published, ““A Missing Part of Me:” A Pan-Canadian Report on the Licensure of Internationally Educated Health Professionals.” This report explores the barriers that internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs) experience on their path to licensure in Canada, as well as some facilitating factors. The research is the result of individual and organization stakeholder visits that N4 conducted in 2022 and provides a snapshot of the everyday realities of frontline and lived experience professionals at this time.
