The Role of IEHPs in Addressing Canada’s Health Human Resource Crisis: Ending Underutilization through Systems Change
Canada’s health system is facing a health human resource crisis. For years, labour shortages, difficult working conditions, and the growing needs of an ageing population have strained the health system’s infrastructure. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these long-standing problems, contributing to widespread burnout and an exodus of health professionals from the workforce. In this context, it is remarkable that nearly half (47%) of Internationally Educated Health Professionals (IEHPs) in Canada are unemployed or underemployed.
This webinar will present key recommendations from a policy brief on the role of IEHPs in addressing Canada's health human resource crisis and highlight the need for a coherent 'end-to-end' approach to address barriers related to immigration system, professional registration processes, and inclusive and commensurate labour market integration.
Speakers: Joan Atlin, Director of Strategy, Policy and Research, World Education Services (WES) / Caroline Ewen, Manager, WES
