Quebec's Doctor Supply: Steady Amidst Drama

0:00Quebec's got 26,775 licensed physicians on the books, with 89% actually practicing that. 23,288 docs keeping the province healthy.

In Montreal alone, 7,988 doctors are active, up 145 from last year, while the province netted a 350, gained after adding 935 new ones and accounting for those who stepped away. Women dominate the field at 56% of the workforce, plus 67% of med students, and 59% of residents shifting. The balance in healthcare big time. Those like these show Quebec's docs apply holding steady amid the drama, setting up smoother sales for patient care ahead. That's your update from Canada News today, powered by AI.
